I removed about 50 contiguous feet of roof eaves when I did the demo for a new patio I built. A portion of the eaves were damaged by termites. I believe the eaves are 2x10, maybe 2x12 and sold in 16 foot lengths. Originally they were secured by nails thru the face into the roof joints tails and also from the top thru the roof substrate before the singles were installed.
Any suggestions on how to reinstall these long and heavy eaves? Will nails thru the face of the eave be enough support? Any tips on holding the eaves in place as I only have my son helping me? Any help would be appreciated.
