Maybe attach a

| Hey David,
Thanks for the response. I actually tried that, the two issues I had were 1.
The pitch in which the roof is angled and the size of the gap make it where that
piece doesn’t fit. 2. I had a hell of a time trying to even get that piece attached,
I tried using a the ball and clip but again the pitch of the roof made it difficult.
Again, thank you for your response. Much appreciated!!

It couldn't be any worse than my attempt many years ago.

Not that bad.
I think two things are happening:
1. we want to make things too perfect: little holes here and there are not that
bad!
2. “you’re holding it wrong” / going at it backward. The corner should be built
first. It should be easier to adapt the sides to an abritrary corner than trying
to build a corner on an arbitrary side.

You found the Achilles heel in building LEGO houses: these kinds of angles are
near impossible to build.
If you go for best looks, you might want to use
and cut up the corner tiles. Since that approach would be a no-go for many:
You could approximate the angle by covered with but you won't
end up at the exact angle due to the slopes of your roof. You would need to cover
the corners by or even some lesser known part as
You might get lucky building SNOT, with e.g.
Or you might switch to a different roof style using
Enjoy building and exploring!
