Apart from the roof, is there something I'm missing?

Unless the roof is intended to leak, no. Although it also seems to be missing lintels above the second-story windows, upon closer inspection.

JoeI noticed that too, but I think I've seen the same design detail previously in old houses. The lintel would only be one course of brick high and is replaced with a timber beam.

Exactly. That's the most glaring error.

Looks like he might have the barge mold up first as well
ie the moulding bit that goes over the barge baord and the tiles
