Dog Trot Gable Roof Span

[Mark_Chenail]

Yes  I really like dogtrot plans in all their forms.  You could easily close up the ends of the dogtrot in cold weather with a system of storm windows that slid into channels  or were held in place by battens.  Or you might use folding shutters or doors that accordianed to either side.   A woodstove in the middle area would keep things toasty warm.

Somewhere in my files I have a picture of the lodge u describe with two story dogtrot.  If I can find it, I will post it.
