GeneDavis Posted November 1 Share Posted November 1 Roof returns are done to eliminate the bad architectural practice of having a pork chop end, and unless you give a return its own return (check "hip"), including frieze wrap, as is done by using the molding, you get a pork chop. Best practice is to do the returns at a lower pitch than the roof above. I had a great pork chop at a steak joint called Perry's the other night. But I don't like to see them on roof corners. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boxed eaves, which sounds much nicer than 'pork chops', are built to eliminate the costs associated with roof returns, allowing homeowners to occasionally visit a steak house and not have the embarrassment of publicly ordering a pork chop! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You made me think of this book: Get Your House Right Chapter 10 talks about Cornices and Eaves 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
