Hipster

It's great to have our two new roofs up, less great not to have them relate to the old one. Our architect, Dennis, took the easy way out when figuring out the relationship -- "builder's best judgment," or some such, and the drawings were ambiguous.

He was probably hedging his bets against things we wouldn't have learned until demolition started -- I sure don't blame him for that -- so when the new rooms went up, "builder" and I had to make some best judgments.

The blue lines show you the solution: Ref put in a hip to join the old and new, and to let gravity work to draw water and debris down.

The angles were far beyond me, but after some very fancy slicing, the hip surgery was a resounding success.
