Re: roof overhang??

There's a bit of style and personal preference when it comes to roof
overhang. In our area (Pacific Northwest), I see roofs ranging from no
overhang, to two foot overhangs all the way around. Heck, there's even a
house downtown that has rounded overhangs. Those have to be a pain to
shingle and waterproof.
Obviously, the larger two foot overhang will offer more protection for
the building and help block sun in the summer.  I personally think it
looks stupid, but that's just my opinion... :)
Before we built our house and garage, I drew up the roofs with various
overhangs. I eventually settled on 12" overhangs at the eaves, and 6" on
the gable ends. I just like the proportions of these measurements.
