Rafter Tails and Gutter Dilemma

6 years ago
last modified: 6 years ago

Just wondering if I should keep or cut the pointy tails off the rafter spines. The spines are notched and the gutter sits in the notches, along the side of the house and porch. the problem is that the water is rotting the tip of front piece, because the gutter sits just behind it. It is not notched like the rest, and water flows over it. Is it worth it to notch the front rafter tail and extend the gutter forward, or should I cut the tips and set the gutters against fascia?

Aesthetically, I'm not sure what to do!

Does the long spine it look a bit goofy for such a small house?
