Hi,
Woah talk about inexperienced. I've never built a house from my own
imagination before. I never knew it would be this difficult.
I have the exterior of a house built; It's roughly the shape of a rectangle,
44x30 studs, and 11 bricks high. I was starting to build the roof with 45
degree roof bricks (don't have enough 33 degree ones) until I made a
startling discovery. I just realized that by the time I reach the peak, the
roof will be much taller than the house itself!
So could someone with experience in this kinda thing give me/us some simple
guidelines as to how big of a building to build before the roof gets out of
hand?
Thanks!
-Bryan
