You said exactly everything I'd'a said! It works fairly well as a design, other
than the fact that the roofs fall off if you go carrying them around and tip
them over or anything-- but if you just leave 'em be they're perfectly secure!
Although actually, now that I DO think of it, back to the 'underlying' layer of
plates (beneath the top tan layer)-- I usually make sure the "lip" of the top
layer is 1 stud wide on each edge so that the roof won't slide from side to
side... I think you had mentioned simply to keep any lip at all 1 or 2 studs
wide... But then again, if you're using 2x2 45 degree slopes instead of 1x2 45
degree slopes, then you need to space the lip accordingly (needless to say :)
Anyway, that tends to keep any side to side motion down to a minimum...
