Generated explanation

A cross section shows an integral gutter built into the eave of a sloped shingle roof. The gutter sits above the projecting ceiling joist, beside the roof rafter and exterior wall framing. The original gutter lining, identified as typically sheet metal, follows the recessed gutter channel. A separate single-ply membrane liner is shown above the channel with a downward arrow indicating placement over the existing lining. The annotation describes this as a repair for an original lining deteriorated by rust or leaking seams and allows single- or double-ply roofing material.
