Happiness is having a roof over your head. But which one do you have, and is it the best one? Flat, shed/skillion, gable, hipped, pyramid, mansard, gambrel, bonnet, curved, domed...your home likely has one of these. And if you don't know, you should find out, since they each have characteristics that affect initial cost, maintenance, and style. After all, there's no such thing as being too informed.
