   Hello   
      
   First time posting. I need to install a patio cover, however the eves of   
   my roof are too low to give me the height I require at the end (14 ft) of   
   the patio cover. What are my options?   
      
   I DO NOT want to attach anything to the fascia board. In all actuality, I   
   would like to cut back the roof to make it flush with the wall. If I do   
   this, I have only roof-angled rafters and the parallel-to-the-slab support   
   rafters exposed.This gives me a 1.5" area to lag into. If I user a 2X8   
   ledger board, the bottom part will overlap the rim board, but only at the   
   bottom portion of the ledger.   
      
   Question One: Is it common practice and more importantly, to code, to lag   
   a ledger board into the 1.5" end of a support rafter?   
   Question Two:. Can I use 8" steel elbow brackets to bolt into the side of   
   the parallel rafters and then, bolt the ledger board into those?   
      
   Now if I can do option two, I could space several lags into the rim   
   supports (which would be 2" at the bottom of the ledger board) for added   
   support.   
      
   Thank you for your advice,   
   Branden
