Sometimes you just have to do a real life test….
If your goal is to keep rain off the foundation of your house, or keep rain from coming into your windows…. play with it…
Test 1 foot, 2 foot, 3 foot, 4 foot and see what you can tolerate.
The wider the eve, the more it effects light coming in…
Eves can be an art too….
Eves can be part of your design… look at your 3D drawings.. see what looks good to you.
Looks from inside to out
Looks from outside, it changes the design of your roof….one of the largest visible design features of your house.
Eves can be ornate, or simple.
They hold your gutters….
When you are dreaming of your house… you probably are not dreaming of a beautiful eve….or barely know what they are..
