Roof project








We built a miniature roof on a kleenex box and researched a roof style.





Drawback
Gable end roofs are the worst roofs for hurricane regions. According to one hurricane survival guide book, a gable end "catches wind like a sail.

Advantage
Cheap and simple.

Found
Everywhere.


I learned the proper term for this roof style.
I liked how we had so much time to work.
I disliked how our teacher was gone and so we did not have clear instructons.
If i did this project again i would pick a harder style.

I wish i picked a harder and more difficult style.
