Generated explanation

The illustration shows a cross section of a roof eave and exterior wall, with an enlarged detail of the shingle edge and gutter. The section identifies the roof rafter, ceiling joist, wall stud, and wall sheathing. In the enlarged detail, the shingles extend excessively beyond the roof edge over the gutter, marked with a red X. Water running off the extended shingles overshoots the gutter's outer rim rather than being collected. A dimension annotation specifies a 1-inch maximum projection.
