For my desk at work. Some people have plants, some have pictures of their kids. I have health and mana pots.

I took a break from mining to finally build something. I figured what better place to start than an upgrade for my mud hut. Inspired by: http://dangerousforays.tumblr.com/

This is completely excellent!

Just playing around with roofs...

[dangerousforays]

Love your builds. Your house construction inspired me to try your method out on one of my own. I wish we had more building materials to work with but hopefully after 1.8 comes out there will be more variety.

Glad to be of service!

I love your roofing tutorials, it's so hard to find GOOD tutorials on aesthetics instead of mob grinders and automatic farms. Will you be doing more tutorials on other subjects like floors and walls?

I will if you find them useful!

Roofing 203: Dormer doorways

Fig. 1. Side door

Let's say we want the door on the side under the eaves. These eaves are sitting pretty low over the door, and while we obviously can't help the door height itself, personally I like having at least 3 blocks of standing room in all other places. So this feels a bit cramped.

To solve that, we can install a dormer so the door has some extra vertical clearance. This is, of course, very similar to the dormer windows from ROOF202.

Fig. 2. Make room for the dormer

Leave three blocks over the doorway for the dormer.

Fig. 3a. Installing the dormer

Place a whole block on either side, and a half block above, just like the dormer window.

Fig. 3b

Extend the half block out, and place a stair block facing out on either side. 

Fig. 4. Finishing the dormer.

You can use two stacked fenceposts to prop up the new dormer. Now this feels like a proper entrance, and offers extra shelter from the rain to boot.
