Adding a dormer



Some of you may remember that I had dormers for the barn project. Because of the slope of the roof, Russ helped me to recreate the angle in the dormers by cutting them with his compound miter saw. There was essentially half a dormer left over for each of the three we cut. This gave me an idea... The front roof seemed awfully big and boring on this kit. It was crying out for a dormer, and I just happened t have an extra round attic window...

You are turning this into something very special, the dormer is just the right thing, and again loving this door, which I now see was changed from a curved top door. Did you take a big breath when you cut the new opening? It would have made me a little nervous and it has when I've done the same thing,

Thanks so much, Deb! Coming from you is a giant complement and lets me know I am on the right track!

I really do say a prayer and call on all the goodness of the universe when making these kinds of modifications! I have a scroll saw but still feel a little feeble with it. I go very slowly and really make sure I have a plan before I start cutting away! These Greeleaf kits are just so forgiving and easy to work with compared to The Houseworks and Real Good Toys kits that it really helps my confidence!
