I see all sorts of very unusual concepts from home owners while doing my job. This is a good one. I've seen a floor jack under the middle of a deck holding up the deck that was supporting a hot tub on top of the deck. It seems that at least some people do understand what "load path" means........

Follow the load path in this work of art. Decks are designed to support 50 lbs. per sq ft. A roof is designed to support 42 lbs. per sq ft in the part of the world where I live. You don't suppose any of the fasteners used to assemble this are susceptible to failure should several feet of wet snow accumulate. I wonder how the footings for the deck are going to hold up when the deck and the roof blow full of snow.

I don't know what to think about that, as compared to the other. Better: at least they were thinking. Worse: they actually though about it and did that anyway!

Not to mention that the fasteners around the door probably only go into the siding.

i was focusing on the gable vent above wondering why there.

It's a story and a half house. So the gable vent is down lower to ventilate the triangle shaped part of the attic that is alongside the living space on the half story, same as a gable vent on top of the living space.

aaaahhh. ive built a few chalets but never saw that area vented like that. makes sense now.

i have a feeling there wasnt a building permit for that wonderfully constructed roof there,too.
