Yeah. I just made a roof---not too large---for a church (which was itself
rather on the small side). I'd estimate that I used about 150 2x4 roof
bricks, but I didn't even need to open my (only) 3444 to do the peak.
But peaks, like a lot of the parts in 5216, are necessary for 3497 to be
of use, even though people won't buy them in similar quantity.
