Well, okay then :smiley:

A foshizzle roof is one where a dutch clipped hip clips below the remaining gabled double mansard, but above where a bastard overframe valley ties into any kind of a bonnet shed.

Thats gonna be hard to walk

We have several here in Montreal Kenton. A dutch contractor built 20 traditional Dutch style homes in Montreal. All have the fireplace and stone chimney in the front. They are or are going to considered a heritage buildings.
Thanks Kenton. You the king mate.:slight_smile:

He showed his surprisement when he exclaimed the phrase:

as he fell off the roof

Several… foshizzle roofs?

thanks for clearing that up Kenton…

'Course, that’s just how we describe them around here, James. Might be different in Ohio.

Dutch style homes. I will try to find photos. Installed shingles on 2 of them. Both owners said they were modified. I do not know if they were foshizzle.

Sorry for the edits. I can not download the 2 PDF’s . Here’s a links to one.
