I notice when I look at the pictures of cabins or homes built by students that there is only one that has a gambrel (barn style) roof. Why is this? I have always really liked the look of a gambrel roof and it increases tthe amount of usable space in a 1.5 story structure. Is there some inherent weakness with a gambrel roof that I don't know about? Can one use a gambrel roof effectively with the Skip Ellsworth method?
