A couple of reasons:
1. I always wanted to join two gable roofs of unequal span at 90°. This gave me an opportunity to practice framing.
2. The way I did it looks better. Had I put a flat roof on the back it would have looked like a giant ramp. I thought it would have looked funny. The two gable approach looks right.
3. This gave me more storage space in the rafters.
Today I bought shingles and underlayment. I went with "synthetic" underlayment by GAF. It was a lot easier than working with 30## felt. I hope it works as well as it is to work with.
I put drip edge on all the exposed plywood and put the underlayment down. I got the front shingled and about 1/2 of the back. I will finish the roof tomorrow. I gotta see if they stock ridge shingles for the style I chose. I'm getting sick of cutting shingles and don't want to do any more.
