Browse Forums General Discussion 1 Dec 11, 2011 8:51 am Hi everyone We have an old farm house with the typical 12' ceilings. The roof line is what I think they call a 'Dutch Hip Gable' At the rear of the stone home is a turret wall with a skillion style roof inside the turrets. This turret wall is about 2' lower than the main roof of the house. We want to build and extension by extending the turret walls out the back by a further 8 metres os so at the same height, but the problem is when we try to tie in the new extension roof (lower than the old house roof) into the old house roof because of the 2' difference in heights. I have probaly not explained this very well and may try draw a picture later and post up here. I just need some help in picturing this in my head, so if anyone has a website address that they can point me to that will show all these different options I would be gratefull.
