mgbinspect Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 Kinda sad, we're so subconsciously commercialized... definitely a roof line I wouldn't have... It's a hip roof style on steroids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Jones Posted December 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 I was fully anticipating a leak somewhere, nada. The upstairs bedroom(s) could be used as an IMAX theater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kogel Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 That's a "hip" roof, alright. I wonder if it started life covered with cedar shakes? If it did, there was a long history of leaks, no doubt. Somebody did an impressive job putting that roof on. The one thing I don't see is ventilation for the roof cavities. That design doesn't allow for venting. You'd have to install a vent in every panel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark P Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 Kind of a geodesic dome with gables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHI in AR Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 It's the bastard child of a geodesic dome and a traveling barn salesman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Kibbel Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 The roof is a polyhedron, made up of pentagonal dipyramids, with cross-gambrels. I didn't make that up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodecahedron, to be more specific...with the cross gambrels...whatever that is. I didn't make it up either. Just playin' Bill. You the man.

Bill Kibbel Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 Dodecahedron, to be more specific... A dodecahedron would be sphere-like, composed of 12 flat pentagonal faces. Remember the paperweight calendars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Kibbel Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 Holy crap Bill. And here I was gonna put Geodesicish as the style. Geodesic-ish - I like that better for reporting. I was just showin' off. It's pretty hard to put a geodesic-ish roof on that doesn't leak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
