Did you know... that a crow-stepped gable is a roof slope design arising in the Middle Ages which was decorative, but also facilitated access to chimneys for maintenance?

Would be very helpful if the waterproofing methods from the "Construction" section were accompanied by some diagrams. I admit I need this for personal research, but a more objective reason is that the article itself is just hard to read and understand without diagrams. I assume the source is Hogan's "History of Muchalls Castle", which I, unfortunately, haven't been able to find. If anyone could provide it I'd be grateful (or any other source on waterproofing methods for stepped gables). AndreiMiculita (talk) 12:42, 13 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
