Architectural interest was added to this ranch through an attached shed and gable dormer addition. Steep roofs are a Nantucket style. The trim was sized to match the existing house. Dewing & Schmid were the architects. I did a lot of the structural, the electrical and the HVAC myself. R50 roof insulation was used with oversized attic venting

Top of gable done in PVC. Clapboard is cedar

Copper valleys shaped in a "W"

Group of 3 windows between vertical cedar siding painted one color darker than the clapboard. These features bring together the windows and push them to the background

I am adding an addition to the rear of a ranch. I want to put a shed roof on my addition and tie it into the existing roof. What is the best way to tie in my new rafters to the existing roof.
