12/12 vs 10/12 pitch for Cape?
Comments (21)The problem is a combination of proportion and headroom. If you have a small house, then to get the headroom for useable space in the second floor, then you have to have a 12-12 pitch. Some Victorian cape style houses had very steep roofs! If you want an authentic look, early houses had a shallower pitch, that is assuming that the ground floor was (just for argument) 32 feet across the gable end. A 10 inch rise to 12 inch run would be OK, and even slightly shallower would be common. The area of the roof on this house would also be HUGE, but the proportions would look right on your plan. However, if the house is small, as many were throughout the history of the Cape, not across the front but again on the gable end, then you have to raise the pitch of the roof in order to walk around. This might look a little top heavy, but it would certainly be in harmony with the antique houses that you see. We in the 20th and 21st century tend to design houses differently. After all, you would not have to hire an architect if you were making a basic house as they did in the past, and we all want to spend money on an architect, now don't we? In the past you had one big rectangle. These are very efficient heat wise. We now make a smaller central house and add all these doo-dad additions to the building. In the past, one might add to the house as you needed the space, but still the central house retained the original proportions. Also, you must consider that the more angles, junctions, changes in elevation, the more places where the weather and rot can get in. Best to use the original plan if you want a real cape that also looks real. Visit an antique Cape. House museums are all over New England, and you can measure one you like! They may already have plans available....See MoreSurvivor 12/4
Comments (11)That was a great episode, I was cheering Andy on. What a blindside! The majority four had all manners of ways they could have prevented what happened. My opinion of Teeny dropped after all of her ranting. I don’t read about the show much — I wonder why Sue has such a strong hatred for Kyle, and Teeny the same for Sam? It really seems over the top in both cases. So far, I’d like to see Genevieve, Sam, and Andy in the final three because they’ve really fought for their places and have played the game well. I think of those three, Sam would win. If Rachel makes it to the final three (I predict she will, and I do like her, too), I don’t think anyone could beat her. We’ll see! This has definitely been one of my favorite seasons in the ’new era’ or whatever it’s called....See More12/18 Survivor Finale Pt 2
Comments (15)Sue is one amazing woman. I know she's had work but her body is so muscular and at 59, she was a threat in challenges. I'm glad so many women were at the end. Sam was the entitled male and I was sad Teeny lost the fire challenge. Absolutely there should be barriers for both players so the wind doesn't decide the outcome. I didn't know Rachel was a standby in the last season. I didn't even know of such a thing. Loyalty is very important and it played out in this season. Rachel deserved to win and it should have been unanimous. You don't vote for friendship like Kyle did....See More12/3 Survivor tonight
Comments (9)They should've gotten out Savannah. Sophie may have flipped on the next vote while they know they'll never split up Savannah and Rizo. I hate Rizo's cockiness. Little twerp....See More- last month
