The Solar Farmhouse

The Solar Farmhouse is what can be called an “elaborated saltbox”. This is the house we built for ourselves. It consists of a basic main floor shape 24’ x 36’ long containing the primary living spaces. The upper floor sits on top of the south half of the main floor and is 12’ x 36’. It contains sleeping areas and an upstairs bath. The gable roof over the upper floor slants down to the north, to connect the north wall of the main floor. This provides extra height in the living room by means of the cathedral ceiling and an expanded bedroom where the upper floor structure carries through to the north wall.

Metal roofing to wood, screw placement

"I looked for a decent picture of the roof of mine but this is as good as I could find. The total run is approximately 12 feet and as you can see the screw placement only depicts two rows of screws in the middle of the panel. The ridge and eve screws are seperate. There is only 1-(one) screw into the flat area in that horizontal line. On the eve I doubled the screws to one on each side of the rib rather than one per flat."
