Shed Dormer on Cape????

[Allen42acj]

By your pictures it looks like your dormers were an addition and line up front and back.
And not going to the edge of the building..
A few ways to do it..
I would start over on the 2nd floor.

That is looking much better. Five minutes – must have spent at least five hours goofing around with this yesterday. You make it all seem so easy - It all comes with experience I guess.

Vhampton – I have attached an image of how the home builder handled the gable end of the shed dormer. The siding is carried through. I have pretty much recreated what you home done so that I have a good understanding. With extending the first floor wall there is no need to have the rear wall of the shed dormer as a pony wall.

Any suggestions of how to fix the opposite gable end of the shed dormer so that siding does not show through to the interior bedroom wall?

The pictures are a little misleading - there is only a rear dormer on the house.

Louis has the correct answer. The attic level walls can be designated to show sheet rock below the roof.... and exterior siding above.

And in looking at your photo...wouldn't it be better if the house remained as all brick...and the dormers were the only surfaces which had clapboard siding? (See attached)

From the existing photo you posted...it looks a bit like the Little Rascals got into the home remodeling business.

The interior wall can be adjusted by taking a cross sectional view. Use the mouse to grab the wall and get the siding up and over the roof plane.

But I have a question for Louis....

How does one get the sheetrock to show below and siding above...if not done by my concocted method?

Here's what this looks like in a vector view after the wall was tweaked.
