winterdd Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 In the world of home building would this be frowned upon? A valley coming down directly to a corner? Not sure how I feel about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Obviously it's possible. I might be a bit concerned about the rain water gushing off that point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterdd Posted January 18, 2022 Author Share Posted January 18, 2022 My thought exactly on the rain and even a gutter being feasible there......homeowner don't care about it but something is rubbing me wrong about it. It's not common. I want the gables centered as shown so I guess it is what it is........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinyhouseguy Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 looks good, place a corner gutter and a rain barrel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridge_Runner Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 This is done in my area. Not always the best approach, but sometimes necessary to please the client. As "tinyhouseguy" posted, the water can be collected but you have to be "creative." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally, I'd move that major roof plan back at least 2'-0" (but only if it would work out with the rest of the house, ie the part we can't see to the left of your image) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Builder said it's not a problem so I am going with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing wrong with it except heavy rain will spill over, but that happens at most valleys anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joey_martin Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 The side gable should follow that front wall under the porch. That would create the return you are looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
