Please help us get the garage details right
We're trying to finalize the design of our garage and would appreciate comments/input. Our detached garage is in front of the house in an entry forecourt, so we really want it to look nice. The house/garage relationship is something more or less like in these pictures:

Our house will be a "farmhouse style" end gable with shed dormers over a porch roof. White board and batten, metal roof. The 2-car detached garage is connected to the porch by an open breezeway. The garage has a low-pitched hip roof (3.5/12, same as porch and breezeway) to try to keep it from looking too big, but it still is fairly tall due to the breezeway connection. It's roughly 11.5' from grade to the plate(?), so there's a pretty big space between the top of the garage doors and where the roof begins.
3 ideas from the architect -- which would you pick (or do you have any other suggestions)?
1. Budget option. Use same board and batten look as on main house. Put gooseneck barn lights over each of the two garage doors to try to fill up some of the space between the top of the doors and the roof.
2. Window option. Add transoms over the garage doors to echo the transoms on the main house. These would be the same size and height as the house transoms. If we went this route we could either (a) use the same windows as we are using on the house (these are a bit pricey) or (b) use the same size but cheaper window and try to match or not match. Lighting would go on the sides of the doors.
3. Stone veneer option. I'm pretty much ready to rule this out -- sounds like a budget-buster, and I am thinking it also might look out of place? We are in California and because of earthquakes don't have many stone or brick buildings. But, I found a photo that looked pretty nice.

Thanks for any opinions!
Thanks -- I'll try to get some time this week to figure out how to take screenshots and post those (don't laugh but I don't even know how to "text").
Buildings are designed and permitted. I forgot to also mention that another reason for the low-sloped roof is that the garage is SE of the house and we didn't want to block too much of the light. We had a lot of constraints with setbacks and trees.
IMO, the garage would be much more complementary to the house, and a better design, using a gable roof, with a shed dormer over the garage door side.
That's the roof profile of the house--gable roof punctuated by shed dormers.
The design idea behind the low-pitched shed roof on the garage may have been to mimic the shed roof on the lower projection of the house. The result, however, is a very utilitarian profile suggesting a rather unimportant building. Might be fine if located out of view of the house and any other structures.
You're spending a lot of money for a well-designed and interesting house, only to have a rather insignificant, utilitarian building in the front for initial view and impression.
The problem with the low hip profile is that the upper profile of any structure (that part against the sky) is what is noticed and remembered. That's why the garage would be better designed using the vocabulary of the upper roof of the house.
Clearstory windows and light fixtures do not affect the garage profile.
Just a thought and constructive suggestion. Good luck on your project.
virgilcarter, thanks for the thoughts.
If we were to change to a steeper-pitched gable roof on the garage, do you think it would look strange for the pitch to be different from that of both the porch and the main roof? There is a height limit for accessory buildings so I *think* about 6:12 would be the most we could do on the garage unless we change the plate height too.
("Utilitarian" and "unimportant" are both words that I probably used to describe to the architect what I wanted in a garage! I know I've used "utilitarian" several times to describe the house. I wanted the garage to be more like a shed than a carriage house. I just don't want it to look like a dump :-))
Renovator8, virgilcarter, and all you other design gurus,
What do you think about dropping the plate to 8' from the floor and using an 8:12 gable roof? Would you do one dormer with two windows the size of the transoms in the current elevation? Or something else?
We're meeting with the architect this week, so any input is appreciated!
If it was mine, I'd set the plate at +8', get the gable roof pitch as steep as allowable (12:12 being ideal), with the ridge line parallel to the garage doors and I'd mimic the shed gables on the house with one centered above the garage doors, glazed compatibly.
Since the garage form is considerably smaller than the house form, a garage shed dormer with two windows might work. Will need some design study to find the best proportions for height and width.
No need for clearstory glazing above the garage doors, but three appropriate wall mounted light fixtures on each side of a garage door and in the center would be handsome, IMO.
Good luck with your project.
virgilcarter, that is extremely helpful. Unfortunately I think with an 8' plate height the steepest we could do and stay within the height restriction is 9:12. Would it make a difference that there will be a small guest cottage in back with an 8:12 roof? I don't think anyone would ever be able to see both the cottage and garage at the same time, though. If you have any ideas on how to resolve the breezeway roof, I'd love to hear those, otherwise I will have to leave it to the architect who is getting paid ;-)
zone4newby, thanks, I think our wallet will like the Hardie siding better, too!
dekeoboe, that is a very creative idea! I will mention it to the architect, but I am pretty sure we will want to keep it as an accessory building due to zoning rules (there is some room for interpretation and we could argue about it if the garage were part of the house, but as an accessory building I think it's pretty clear it's allowed to be where it is).
(Also, I misread the roof pitch on the guest area, it is 11:12, same as the main roof on the house.)
IMO, a 8:12 or 9:12 will look fine. In all likelihood, few people will be able to tell that this is greatly different than the roof pitch on the house, since they are separate structures and at right angles to one another. The same applies to the roof of the guest cottage at the rear of the property.
I think the study above is much more harmonious than the hipped-roof version. Don't you?
Good luck on your project!
It's hard to visualize without any images, but, in my mind, it sounds similar to one of the South's old tobacco-drying barns, where the gable over hip allowed drying breezes to flow through the barn and dry the hanging tobacco leaves.
The architect must have a reason for making such a recommendation, but I see no relationship to the house at all, if that's indeed the recommended change. Can you post an image?
Everyone, thank you for all of your help!
The architect is working on some options for our review, we hope to have those soon. The biggest challenge will be resolving the breezeway.
In the meantime, here are my extremely crude Sketchup attempts. (The colors went all wonky when I tried to paint.)
1. Gable (MOL 9:12) with shed dormer
2. Dutch gable (MOL 3.5:12, 11:12)
In order to address the issues of massing, overall height, and the plate height needed to avoid an awkward connection to the breezeway at the rear of the garage, what if we use a shed and gable combo similar to what is shown in the link below?
Virgilcarter, do you think that would look right? We are so very thankful for all of your help with this.
Here is a link that might be useful: Garage plan
Oaktown, I now see (for the first time) that your house does have a vocabulary of a shed roof over first floor elements and a gable at each end of the house, containing second floor occupied space. For some reason this wasn't as clear to me on your first illustration.
The effect on the garage, however, seems to be too small and "toy-like" to my eye, based on what I can see in the last illustration. Just my take on the last illustration. What do you think, based on all three illustrated alternatives for the garage?
I do like Ramsey's work and her garage, on your link above, may work fine to resolve all of the design issues as best as possible.
I understand your concern for the connecting breezeway. Could you rotate your illustration and show us a view of it, as it connects house and garage. It would help to actually see it, rather than trying to visualize it.
Your design is progressing nicely and you will soon have a wonderful plan to build--congratulations!
Oops, I didn't answer your other question -- right now we are leaning towards a massing like the Ramsey plan. In the abstract I prefer the simple gable, but the breezeway is important to my spouse (and kids), who originally were advocating for an attached garage.
Also just to clarify, the shed roof on the main house only covers porch, except for a small portion not visible from the front that we "bumped out" under the porch roof.
Thanks for the view showing the breeze way. As long as the breeze way roof is a shallow gable, as shown, I think you are free to have almost any design for the garage.
After all this, I'd say simply pick the garage design you like best and go with it. Your house is well done and I'm sure you will enjoy it. Best wishes.
I wish we could do the simple gable with the lowered plate height and shed dormer that you first suggested! Unfortunately it would be too tall to get a decent pitch with the existing plate height (shown in the hip roof Sketchup) and if the plate height is lowered, then the breezeway "overshoots" the roof of the garage. So we'll probably end up with the gable+shed combo to get the higher plate height at the back. I'll post a picture when we're all done. Can't thank you enough, and also Renovator8, who motivated me to post the sketches in the first place.

Go Round is a point scoring puzzle app. You must score enough points to move to the next level.
This is a difficult game to describe.Ā The object is to make groups of 3 on the concentric rings. 3 matching colors on the outer ring will shoot inward toĀbecome 1 on the next inner ring.
You can have a chain reaction. But I'm not sure about the exact point scoring system. This much I know: promoting a color from the outermost ring to the innermost will yield a lot of points. I have not figured out the details. Grouping 4 gets more points than 3.
About the scoring system – I contacted the authors about that and the extra things you can use, for example, bombs, when you're stuck, and they responded thusly:
'Yes, I guarantee all 100 levels can be solved without using a single booster, bomb or otherwise.Ā I have completed all the levels without boosters, and one of our testers completed the entire game with only using a few wildcards in the last dozen or so levels, but no bombs.Ā It took each of us about 25-30 hours to finish, and involved lots of level replays.
There are several things in the game that affect your points:
1.Ā Combo moves, where you cause a piece to be promoted through several rings in a single move, are worth a lot of points.Ā The more rings it moves through at once, the more points you get as a bonus.
2.Ā A promoted piece accumulates value throughout its lifespan.Ā If you promote a piece, not only do you get a score for that, the piece also gets a multiplier attached to it, so the next time it is promoted, the resulting score is higher.Ā This is why the outermost ring is said to contain the most valuable pieces.
3.Ā The game keeps track of how many pieces weren't removed from a ring, when the ring disappears.Ā The more pieces you leave behind, the less each move you make after that will be worth.Ā So if you leave a lot of pieces behind in ring one, it will greatly decrease the score of all your moves after that.Ā This is to discourage players from simply trying to increase their score by creating matches in the centermost ring, rather than actually trying to solve the round's piece layout.Ā Essentially, you are rewarded for strategic play, rather than simple color matching.Ā However, the game is very much designed for you not to try and remove all the pieces from the rings, so definitely do not obsess over leaving a few behind.Ā It's merely meant as a way to keep people from cheating.Ā During normal strategic gameplay, it is entirely possible to achieve all the minimum goal scores.
All of the above work together to determine what a particular move is worth.Ā It's very much based on how you've chosen to play the round, rather than static point values.'
There are 100 levels.Ā I've done all 100!Ā But I must confess that I did use my points to buy wildcards from time to time. And some bombs. (NoteĀto National Security Agency: these are not real bombs; they are for a game.)ĀI really like this game and think it has the potential to make the prestigious list of Best Puzzle Apps of 2013. But you'll have to wait until December 31.Ā Sorry.
Download it! And make sure you budget at least a 5 evenings to complete it.

Noomi Rapace - Noomi Rapace Swears Off Tattoos
Picture: Noomi Rapace 'Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows' premiere - Arrivals London, England - 08.12.11
Swedish actress Noomi Rapace has vowed never to have a tattoo inked on her skin as she fears it would limit her chances of Hollywood success.
Rapace shot to fame playing a computer hacker in the Swedish production of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo in 2009, but she's adamant she will always avoid having body art in case it affects her hopes of future roles.
But there's one drastic image change she was happy to undertake - the numerous piercings she sported in the movie were real.
Rapace tells S magazine, "I can't tattoo myself - I must be a chameleon. I have to change the way I look for different characters... (But) those (piercings) were real. They said I could have fake ones, but I didn't want to. I wanted to feel those piercings."

Best Member Poems
When forests walked and fishes flew
And figs grew upon thorn,
Some moment when the moon was blood,
Then, surely, I was born.
With monstrous head and sickening bray
And ears like errant wings—
The devil's walking parody
Of all four-footed things:
The battered outlaw of the earth
Of ancient crooked will;
Scourge, beat, deride me—I am dumb—
I keep my secret still.
Fools! For I also had my hour—
One far fierce hour and sweet:
There was a shout around my head
And palms about my feet.
Life is real, life is earnest,
And the shell is not its pen –
"Egg thou art, and egg remainest"
Was not spoken of the hen.
Art is long and Time is fleeting,
Be our bills then sharpened well,
And not like muffled drums be beating
On the inside of the shell.
In the world's broad field of battle,
In the great barnyard of life,
Be not like those lazy cattle!
Be a rooster in the strife!
Lives of roosters all remind us,
We can make our lives sublime,
And when roasted, leave behind us,
Hen tracks on the sands of time.
Hen tracks that perhaps another
Chicken drooping in the rain,
Some forlorn and henpecked brother,
When he sees, shall crow again.
O why do you walk through the fields in boots,
Missing so much and so much?
O fat white woman whom nobody shoots,
Why do you walk through the fields in boots,
When the grass is soft as the breast of coots
And shivering-sweet to the touch?
Earth and water without form,
change, or pause: as if the third
day had not come, this calm norm
of chaos denies the Word.
One sees only a surface
pocked with rushes, the starved clumps
pressed between water and space --
rootless, perennial stumps
fixed in position, entombed
in nothing; it is too late
to bring forth branches, to bloom
or die, only the long wait
lies ahead, a parody
of perfection. Who denies
this is creation, this sea
constant before the stunned eye's
insatiable gaze, shall find
nothing he can comprehend.
Here the mind beholds the mind
as it shall be in the end.
Winter is icummen in,
Lhude sing Goddamm.
Raineth drop and staineth slop,
And how the wind doth ramm!
Sing: Goddamm.
Skiddeth bus and sloppeth us,
An ague hath my ham.
Freezeth river, turneth liver,
Damn you, sing: Goddamm.
Goddamm, Goddamm, 'tis why I am, Goddamm,
So 'gainst the winter's balm.
Sing goddamm, damm, sing Goddamm.
Sing goddamm, sing goddamm, DAMM.
A parody of the Anglo-Saxon poem, Cuckoo Song

I see that card is shorter
In my opinion the Accelero XTREME Plus would cool better. It has a larger finned array which gives it a larger surface area to separate the heat and three fans that have a higher CFM than the Icy cooler. I am sure the Gelid would cool well though and the smaller size is a plus.

1. Introduction
This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB)
for use with network management protocols in the Internet community.
In particular, it describes managed objects used for controlling the
collection and storage of accounting information for connection-
oriented networks such as ATM. The accounting data is collected into
files for later retrieval via a file transfer protocol. For
information on data which can be collected for ATM networks, see
2. The SNMP Network Management Framework
The SNMP Management Framework presently consists of five major
o An overall architecture, described in RFC 2271 [1].
o Mechanisms for describing and naming objects and events for the
purpose of management. The first version of this Structure of
Management Information (SMI) is called SMIv1 and described in
STD 16, RFC 1155 [2], STD 16, RFC 1212 [3] and RFC 1215 [4].
The second version, called SMIv2, is described in RFC 1902 [5],
RFC 1903 [6] and RFC 1904 [7].
o Message protocols for transferring management information. The
first version of the SNMP message protocol is called SNMPv1 and
described in STD 15, RFC 1157 [8]. A second version of the SNMP
message protocol, which is not an Internet standards track
protocol, is called SNMPv2c and described in RFC 1901 [9] and
RFC 1906 [10]. The third version of the message protocol is
called SNMPv3 and described in RFC 1906 [10], RFC 2272 [11] and
o Protocol operations for accessing management information. The
first set of protocol operations and associated PDU formats is
described in STD 15, RFC 1157 [8]. A second set of protocol
operations and associated PDU formats is described in RFC 1905
o A set of fundamental applications described in RFC 2273 [14] and
the view-based access control mechanism described in RFC 2275
Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed
the Management Information Base or MIB. Objects in the MIB are
defined using the mechanisms defined in the SMI.
