In a update I went and took off the gutter off the back of the garage and cut out a section of the fascia board to access a existing rafter from the outside. I fabricated a new template and the pitch is 30 degrees or a 7/12 pitch. Now with the length of the extensions I am going for 18". Most...

I had to build it from the outside to get the most accurate measurement.

So in a update , I exposed and put back together after the fact rafter access from the outside, and created a 2x6 template and I now have a actual angle. It is 30 degrees, with is actually a 7/12 pitch and it fits like a glove. Now I have a reliable template.

I agree fully I will have to match it up to what is already here.

So yesterday doing research on my current 2x6 rafter tails on a 6/12 pitch in my roof line to set up tail extensions next year, I fabricated a template. Where the red arrow is , is where the current fascia board is at. I figured once the fascia is pulled, I will be able to get more heel cut...

That is a beautiful house in the link. The main reasoning for the add on is to protect the windows as well as add some shade to them. Also to keep the rain further away from the foundation. As you can see in the picture there is real no overhang. In the attic, this is a 2 inch plywood L...

Ventilation with the home was just completed last week. I installed two electric attic fans on the gable ends. The intake air is the front porch that is a 12x12 spaces with vented soffit on it. Location wise I am in Columbus, Ohio.

The Menards standing seam they offer, since there is only one layer of shingle on the roof, I can button cap nail siding fanfold panels then install the metal roof (The maker of the roofing product said this is how it should be done). The plankboard currently on the home is in very good shape.

Standing seam metal.

I have a home that was built right after WWII, I am in the planning process right now and a year from now install a new metal roof. The roof currently has no eaves or soffit . I want to install 16' overhang on the eaves and soffit. What is the best way to go about this on a existing home. The...

they are minimal , and most condos apartments are not up to exact or soundproofing standards due to costs or cutting corners.
