Wooden wedges on rafter ends, reduced tile pitch and to fix facias?

[Safety First]

about the worst drawing ever maybe...
I want the gutter to project as far forward as poss to protect the door from rain. The eaves is just above head height. These wooden wedges in blue were on the rafters of the roof I am re building. They allow for fixing the facia to the wedge and also reduce the pitch of the tile.
I can find a proper name for these?

Are they a bad idea?

Thanks ...

Can't work out what you are asking?
They are correct and are a 'good' idea. They enable fixing if a fascia and a gutter, as you say. Without them, how's it all going to work?

I wouldn't sprocket it like that (risk of splitting), rather I'd fix a dedicated rafter extender to the side of the rafter and fix to that. I take it you have considered where the soffit will strike against the house? Are you tiling with plains or pans?

Sorry, yes badly drawn, badly worded. But you get it basically. I did not want to just copy something that was problematic somewhere else..

Thank you. Hadn't even considered cheek to cheek side fixing. Yes much more solid and of course hidden within facia and soffit.

Tiles.. Double Roman tiles I think.

Guessing I would fix two ends pieces and set a string line to locate intermediaries? Like with bricks...

Is that a gallows? Do you need to talk to someone?

Any way, those are tile kickers. Used to allow the fitting of fascia that is deeper than the rafter cut edge, also to show the rainwater ruin off from steeper pitches

Good point.
