Nice looking model!

Hmmmmm, I don't see any gable ends, or gables for that matter.  What you
have are hips my friend, hips!  Hipped roofs and hipped dormers.

Build On!

Sorry I am not as original as some of you when it comes to naming my • creations
so I had to try and put something in the header that would make you come • look
at my new Inn.

Seriously I did use a lot of gable ends on the Inn as well as a lot of • other
bricks as well.  One point of interest is the fact the I have used 4 of • the new
castle wall pieces that many of us have been trying to figure out a use • for.
Actually that is how this project started, as an experiment using these • pieces.
All that information is on the web page though so please go there and • then let
me know what you think.

Here is the URL to see the Inn:

Are you saying my Inn has big hips! :-)  Say that to the wrong significant
other and there will be hell to pay.  Seriously I did learn the error of my
definition of "gable".  Although in my own defense many people do call the 1x2
3-sided piramid piece a "gable end" and using that definition my roof does have
many although I now know there are no true "gables" on my Inn and yes what I
have are hips and lots of them.  So maybe I need to rename my Inn the "Inn of
many hips".  Or better yet maybe I should get creative and give it a cool name
like some others have named their creations.

  ~"the inn of many hips"! ~lol!  it sounds like the place where a bunch of
my craigo-lego babes are hanging out! be careful! the "cops" are on patrol,
and may get the wrong idea from that name! the last thing you want is for
the place to get busted by leo's goons!

  seriously good work here, eric! i love getting so inspired, but hate not
having quite so many red roof bricks as you do!

  later ~ craig~
