This thread is brought upon an idea to fix my problem with my roof. Our roof slants to the right, and on the right side of the house, there's a wall higher than the roof. There's an image in the thread above.

To fix the gutter and the leaks, the first idea was to raise the roof to the right wall's height, but that would entail moving the whole roof above, ceiling, wiring, and all. Then it dawned on me, I could just make the right wall be lower than the roof, extend the roof a bit, move the gutter outside the extended roof and that would be it, no more lifting of the whole roof required.

Is it possible to decrease the wall's height? As far as I know, the wall is made of concrete, I don't know if it's made of hollow blocks. [/url]
