Anyone else going crazy with roofs?

It's a bit tricky to do, but it is possible. I connected a first floor roof with a second floor roof for my last Build-N-Share challenge entry on my old laptop with this house:
As @BridgetKV mentioned, the alt key is your friend. The shift key is also useful since it allows you to extend or retract just one side of the roof. I don't remember exactly how I managed to do it in this build, I'd have to load up the save file and take a look. It's on the gallery too if you want to download it here to take a look yourself.
But, I'm positive though it had to involve using the shift key to extend the first floor roof on the top as far as it would go, then use shift again to extend the second floor roof piece on just the one side to meet up with it.
I then most likely used the alt key to tweak them together. I probably had to adjust the height on each roof as well. It can take a lot of fiddling around and frustration, but it is possible to do and very rewarding once everything finally melds together. I'm surprised I have any hair left to be honest. lol Rooves can be quite the puzzle to figure out sometimes. Especially on more complicated builds. I sometimes take more time with the roof then anything else when building. Anyway, I hope this helps as well!
