What is the large, sloping top covering that protects the entire house from rain, sun, and snow?
Have you ever looked at a house and wondered what all those little pieces on the outside are actually called? Most of us can name the roof, windows, and front door, but the real details — the edges of the roof, the boards under the overhang, the pipes that carry rainwater, the little windows sticking out of the roof — often leave us guessing. This fun, easy quiz shows you clear pictures (or clear descriptions) of 40 common exterior house parts. Each question gives you four simple choices. You don’t need to be a builder or architect — just use everyday knowledge and a bit of common sense. Take your time, enjoy learning the proper names, and see how many you can get right. You might be surprised at how many of these everyday parts you already know!
