[papercreters] Nori's House -was- Re: Ed Conley - Project Photos / Followup Mail

Saltbox roof?

How's that going to work on a dodecagon?

Ohhhhhh Noooooooooo.... I think I know the answer...

Uh..... Nori? Ahem...

<begin whispering>
nori?
Is this house plan number 173,067,743?
<groan>
That's only an additional hundred million plans since last year.
Think you can sell each of them for a dollar each? You could pay for
your house AND fund a papercrete building code project!

<begin cheering>
C'mon Nori! Whattyasay?


For those unfamiliar with this running gag of a joke, see this thread

uncomplicated roof lines. I want a saltbox roof, so can place the
cabin on the back side of the house site where the bathroom and
kitchen plumbing has to be . . . If the cabin is the width of the
wide part of the saltbox roof the build-on should be fairly
uncomplicated.
