Buck: The turrett roof is the bay window for the masterbedroom. We had to cut cost there so no vaulted ceiling inside the turret, but not realy loss there.
RobS. I saw your plans. Very similar indeed. We are going with Vinyl siding as well, mostly due cost, but honestly, the long term maintenance as well. I have done too many house painting projects (summer jobs) and I don't want to stain either. So we are going with a two tone blue, not sure of shades yet. We are keeping the fish scale in the areas they were originally located.
