Thanks for this Ruthless KK! I'm always intimidated by barnhouse roofs myself. I do love the Mansard though! One thing that I notice though is that, with mansard roofs that have dormers, you can see the roof through the window, when it's supposed to be hidden! This became a pain in my ar.se in my lot, maison du bourbon. Is there any way to prevent this. :?
I know what you mean! That drives me nuts too! The only way I have ever found to miminize seeing the roof is if the dormer comes out at least a couple squares from where the roof is.....which can be doen on some other styles but doesnt really work on the mansard. On the mansard, the dormers are very close to the roofline...and the roof does show through a bit.
What we need is a one square window like the closed shutter window ( that is two squares wide). Until then, I think we have to just live with the roof being somewhat visible behind the windows.
