They were used to hipped, shed and gable etc…not gambrel. Again, not rocket science, but when specifically asked how to make a useable 2nd floor along with a tall 1st floor, they said it doesnt fit. I would have lowered my roof to the ground if i had to. Remember 15" to the middle. For every foot in extra height I needed to reach the goal, _ **I had to lower the roof edge toward the ground another foot.** _ To complicate matters, trusses couldnt ship down the highway the size I needed so I had to add tails to the trusses to lower the soffits so the middle of the roof line was 15’… so techncally I could have built an aframe almost 30 feet tall with a gable roof.but with Alaskain slab max of 24x24 that would have left an 8 foot wide room on the 2nd floor rather than a 16. Again, dont always listen to the town folk, know the rules and work within them. That is hilariously crafty! --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/anyone-know-someone-who-does-concrete/267050)._
