Those Eaves Take A Lot Abuse.

 

I was walking around the back side of a Folsom home renovation project coming up and had to notice the eaves. It looks like it has taken some hard knocks over time. The rafter ends have rotted and been repaired and recently a satellite dish was install in this same area. There are safer and better ways to attach a satellite dish that doesn't require drilling holes in the roof eave.

I believe the crack to be a great indicator that the repair could have been done better Hella.

Ugh...these dish companies go nuts up on the roof Tom...my home has 3 dishes!  I can't wait until I replace the roof in a couple of years to get rid of them!

Tom, I don't get it with the satellite companies. I know they need a clear sight line but it appears they went through the roof. Really? Maybe I'm not seeing it correctly?

Ginny Gorman -  That would be the perfect time to get rid of them.

Hannah Williams - Maybe but I would think that if that is all you do, maybe they should know!

Tom White - You see it correctly, right through the roof!
