Oh sure, use logic against me. My one weakness! It's a pretty tight squeeze--
the corners might indeed stick out of the roof if left as a normal 1x6x2 arch...
I guess I'd probably just fudge a little and bring the window down a bit or the
roof up. I guess if you're going with the 45 degree angle roof, you might even
get a bit of extra room from the increased slope (Or less if you worked from the
top down instead of the bottom up).
But my guess is you might need a bigger arch anyway. Looks like that window is
maybe... 5 feet wide? Hm. I guess 4 studs wouldn't be a bad match. And the odds
of Lego coming out with a 1x7x2.3 arch with missing corners is about zilch. A
1x8x3 arch maybe. Which might be TOO big. Dang. I dunno.
