scottish dormers

Here's another nice Nova Scotian example...

Probably because you'd get a more panoramic view than could be obtained from 3-sided?

Also in Newfoundland

I'm not sure if they hail from Scotland but they are pretty common here. My own house has one.

Their purpose is probably more style than functionality, although the do give a wider field of view than a flat front dormer.

IMHO they appear stylish only as they present to much wall surface like radiator fins, requiring additional insulation and attic ventillation.

However, I'd pick that style for a broader dormer, it looks practical across >6 feet, and tends to become a bay window.

But you know the Scottish, they don't wear panties. Ken

When is the last time you looked ?

You're the expert apparently. Are you a professional or an amateur?

More to the point, has our Mister Tucker been peeking? I've heard of these fellows, haunting the Hammer Toss and gawking at every opportunity..........

Scottish wife & I watched "Devil's Brigade" and she enjoyed Richard Dawson's kilt fly up in a fight scene, yup and he was wearing panties. But he's english, so does that count? Ken

Man dormers to the extreme

Erm....As I understand it, no. The wearing of panties is no surprise though as the *nglish have always been a bit more effete than their northern neighbors. ;=)

The point that "Ken" has so skilfully glossed over though, of course, is that the English wear panties because they're too embarrassed at what people may not see - a real man!

LOL, who described their wee-pee-pee as the being tampax like, when Dianna needed a cucumber! Ken
