20 house parts you didn't know had a name

By: McCoy's Editorial Team

Calling a contractor to make a repair shouldn’t be a stressful experience. But as a homeowner, you don’t want to sound like your home is a foreign object to you. A dented cricket could cause a leaky roof. And a cracked scuncheon could spell problems with your window. So how do you ask your contractor to fix a certain part of your house, when you don’t know what that part is called? This Old House breaks down twenty architectural house parts that you probably have but never heard of.

So that’s what that’s called!

What is the name given to the bottom of the gable end that projects out from the wall to help support the roof, please? They are often formed of upside down steps of brick!
