Roof/Dormer Schmutz fix from Wendy

Here's a little bad boy condition that I had to fix, so I taped it.  

 

This touches on the following topics:

 

  • messy outside wall connection at dormer cheeks.  In this case it's related to attic walls and the roof eave being higher than the ceiling.
  • misbehaving frieze at roofs with jogs.
  • getting corner boards and rafter tails to look the way you want at dormer outside corners.

Even though this is not technically a "dormer", it's definitely dormer-ish.  So techniques from here can be applied directly to dormers.

 

it's the three videos titled "Roof Schmutz" in the Dormer library folder - http://www.screencast.com/t/FotMcxvnpAI
