2 ice dams. One on either side of the small ridge you placed in there. When the snow and ice build up and then start to melt, the backup would push it up under the shingles. 

Thanks Joey for simplifying the cricket as I am the home builder so that makes things easier for me as well! You guys are all great!

I don't see why it would make things worse. It's no different than any gable intersecting a roof plane, and it's keeping the water flowing down the roof lines. I do agree that your cricket would be simpler to build. In plan it would look like this:

Really appreciate your insight Alvar!  The 10:12 might have to be the way to go.  

I've noticed that and wondered about it since in Wisconsin there can be quite a bit of snow as well.

Hi Fellow C.A. users,

I am struggling with getting the gable roof to look like the real life picture of the house my wife and I would like to build.  Each time I change the porch wall to a gable wall, the roof planes automatically connect with the garage right side plane.  How do I keep a 12/12 pitch and keep the peak of the porch wall over the door as in the picture?  I hope these pictures help to clarify, this has been really frustrating.  When I change to gable, you'll see the peak also extends far above that of the main section of the house. Please help!
