Those dumb little roof details on the gable ends are going to add like $1,000 to the cost of a reroof, let alone the initial cost to build them in the first place. Working at a roofing company has made me want to slap a lot of architects. That material that is specced to totally definitely last forever in an interior waterway loving isn't going to, stop designing buildings to drain to the middle in the pacific northwest goddammit.

i loving despise those little gable ends. I'm not sure why. I've never done roof work. I just think they look overly baroque and another point of failure. Maybe an ornate gable end hurt me as a child, I'm not sure.

A friend of mine has a more modern version of that in his house, and he told me that's the one thing he would change about the house. While it looks cool, it makes 2 medium sized rooms instead of one awesome room, and he wishes he hadn't done that.

Personally I prefer lots of small rooms. But, one can always make smaller rooms with partition walls, the reverse is more difficult.

Also larger rooms are more expensive to heat/cool.
