Day 33 -- How's THAT Supposed To Work?

When I got home, I was totally stoked to see that the dormers as well as the doorway to the balcony was up. Then I started really looking at it. There is supposed to be a few feet between the small dormers and the center dormer. In the first picture, you can see that the small dormer ends at the same place the main dormer begins. This would cause a problem with the roof line between the two. Apparently what happened is that since the steel beam was moved back a couple feet, this caused the pitch of the main dormer to be too shallow. In order to create the space between the two, we're going to need to change the pitch of the main dormer to a steeper one. Which means that we'll need to change the pitch of the small dormers to match. Arg. Luckily, Badger didn't flip out on me when I told him he had to take down most of what they had accomplished today and do it differently. I felt really bad, but I also knew it would bug the crap out of me if we left it the way it was. He was really nice about it and he and his guys were really helpful in coming up with an alternative. I hope it won't put them behind too far. In the second photo, I've drawn a line that is closer to what it should look like.
