I just went on the first visit to a Kitchen remodel bid,to get two cornering walls out, (inside corner) I need to retro-fit a roof line. Its under a pair of end to end Gables,differing in pitch and plane of height(large house joining narrower garage structure)all of this is a must due to the ceiling hgt. I want to keep the new beams in the attic. My biggest worry is I have to feed a new roof line through an eave, and I dont want to leave a water dam feeding into a soffit face… This because of neighborhood restrictions on curb-side view, I would mate new roof to the higher roof plane at the ridge and make a false-face from there down to the lower ridge) But,Nooooo,,…Sooo I have to come out of the lower ridge & essentially, at some point go through that roof rake. The only thing I can logicalll figure is to stop out and box in that upper rake line above my new roof… can any one picture all this,? and give me some other Ideas?

Hopefully someone a little less dense than myself will be along shortly.

Yea,Im going over there with my little digital cam tomorrow,and I've already got a mock-up of one method I'm going to deliver so I should post that before 3 pm cst.
Well,here it is (if I have any luck loading it) The small additional roof in the lower foreground is to be removed, and I will raise a new one over the remainder of the lower roof out to the edge of the upper roof at a level high enough for my new ceiling hgt inside this kitchen expansion...I think I'm gonna cut off that roof rake at the right place and let my new roof go under it,nice -n- pretty,no water dam (like now)
I'm with the diesel guy ... confused and comisserating. Any chance of a pic of the existing house?
