The Windows are four by five inches, so four-by-five camera plates can be used for the glass.
The Roof had best be made in two sections, each measuring twenty-eight inches long by twenty-four inches wide. Fasten the boards together with battens on the under side and, after mitering the upper edge of each, nail them to the house so that the ridge is fifteen inches above the third floor. Then nail a board nineteen inches long by ten inches wide in the peak of the roof (D in [Fig. 228]), and a narrow strip three inches from each side wall (K and L in [Fig. 224]). These cut off the triangular shape of the ball-room and give it a better appearance.
