[snip the inanely simple roof design]
I hope that helps.  Dave E. might have more insight into the roof design but
this is what works for me.

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...
