Dunno on the gutter question, it's just where it naturally ends up following the edge of the room I guess. That's just fhucking stupid lol Looks like anus and is dangerous looking I've never seen anything like that before tbh Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/91333-new-build-home-renovations-gardens-garages-sheds/page/24/#findComment-1580214 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once I get some flat board on there and paint it up it will be acceptable. Why they think a random bit of wood is a good idea I'll never know. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/91333-new-build-home-renovations-gardens-garages-sheds/page/24/#findComment-1580222 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different builder has it on their glossary page with a pic Quote Spandrel This is typically known as a spandrel-end. It is where two roof lines meet due to different heights in brickwork / ceilings to a home. A spandrel is an aesthetically way to finish where the two corners meet on the roof line Expand This looks slightly less shi t but still...lame. In summary...watch out for those eave height differences if building!

Perhaps it's not feasible. I'm not a builder.
