Bill Kibbel Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 Unless our resident Architect from NJ corrects me, I would call it cross gabled with a hipped extension over the porch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurt Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 In my report, I break roofing sections into categories, i.e., "main roof", "front porch", "garage", etc. Keeps me from having to name some of the goofy stuff I see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Katen Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 I'd just call it a cross gable. There's no need to describe every nuance of it's shape, just enough to convey its basic geometry. - Jim Katen, Oregon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terence McCann Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 Originally posted by hausdok Yeah, If not for the cross gable, it would be a dutch hip, so, cross-gabled dutch hip? Bleeaacchhh! Sounds like a disease. ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!! Mike Isn't that responsible for killing off a lot of Elm trees? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terence McCann Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 Originally posted by hausdok Ah yes, Dutch elm disease! Sorta/Kinda? Nope, not the same. ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!! Mike Thanks for the clarification on that Mike! [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
