Forget what I said about the school with the barrel roof.
I've read that 4 foot eaves are desirable. In my previous life, and county,
the regulations stipulated short eaves, because of wind. If you wanted a 48"
unsupported eve, the building department mandated 2x10 rafter construction.
What are the thoughts here? Rafter/hurricane ties sufficient? 2x8?
