<p class="MsoNormal">But the actual roof is a simple Gable roof with all the ridge lines aligned. Equest is building it as pitched roof after I check the sloping roof option box. I wanted to make that end as simple Gable end with aligned ridgeline and same
height as other ridges. Please find the attached image of the expected roof plan.
