The exterior still fits into the turn-of-the-last-century neighborhood, but all of the windows have been replaced with energy efficient ones.

2. Gambrel. This type of roof is very similar to the Mansard Roof. The core differences are that the gambrel has vertical gable ends and the roof hangs over the facade of the home whereas the Mandrel Roof does not. Additionally this one is Dutch-inspired instead of French.

... And of course an all-out crazy panting game of fun.So You're Thinking About Getting a Dog

This wonderful gambrel roof home in Massachusetts has undergone a green renovation: Maximizing the breezes and taking advantage of outdoor space cuts down on energy used for running an air conditioner. What's also great about this porch is the part it plays in the transition from house to yard; the subtly terraced grading and the stone walls further this easy transition.See the rest of this home

Perhaps your dream home has a big yard where the kids and dogs can play. This spacious wraparound porch in Newton, Massachusetts, offers a shady spot where parents can sit and watch the children or wave to the neighbors.

This Massachusetts beauty is technically considered a cross-gambrel roof, as it has multiple gambrels on perpendicular frames.

Anyone whose dog I admired, or at least tolerated, said the same thing: "In the beginning, it's a lot like having another child." I had two and then three children of my own, so I knew that was code for "crapload of work," and this was not encouraging. But there was my boy, with a multiplicity of special needs and a passion for dogs. So, I did what I always do in times of uncertainty and attacked stack after stack of books, from training and behavioral guides to personal essays and memoirs, anything I could get my hands on about life with a dog. In my reading I came across something the writer Jon Katz said in one of his books: at the end of the day, a dog is an animal and even a good dog, a well-trained dog, will do stupid and disgusting things. He gave the example of his Lab, who loved to roam in the woods, find vile things to eat and then be sick inside the house. Most people don't want a real animal, Katz contends; they want a Disney dog.4 Questions to Ask YourselfI hadn't realized a Disney dog was exactly what I wanted, and up until that moment, I had thought if I worked hard enough, I could transform an animal into a cartoon fantasy. Facing reality was simultaneously a relief and a little disheartening, but in retrospect it was very helpful. If you are thinking about getting a dog, answer these questions to start the process.

5. Have a place for play. A tired dog is a good dog, whereas an unexercised or bored dog will look for trouble. Provide space where your dog can run and chase, and you will have far fewer problems. Make the space as large as possible to keep your dog entertained.

I love the rock walls. We have a block wall around our pool. It is all I see when I look out there...needs toning down. Right now it is painted blue like the pool liner, taking away from my focal point. I am thinking of faux finishing to save money. It will take time but I have plenty of that and paint....maybe...????
