Here is an updated front & back with the conical roofs.  A guess was made as far as how tall the cones will be (4" diameter, 4.25" high)...they look a little tall, but it may be an optical illusion.  I also adjusted the colors so it will be a little more like how it may turn out.  All of the lighter tan walls will be half timber so the larger sections will get broken up and not look as plain. 

Those WIP pictures are all a bit out of date and (although maybe overly hopeful), I think I'm well over half done actually.  The foam board goes up very quickly once there is a plan in place.

Interesting suggestion Oldman Willow - I'll give the idea of replacing a dormer or two with some sort of tower/conical roof some consideration.  The trellis idea is also interesting dixongrfx - I'll see how that grows on me.







I'm also considering a very dark green shade of slate, but I don't want the conical roof sections looking like Christmas trees.
