Our new home we are building has open eaves that stick out 2 ft around the house.The roofer said all nails have to stick out under the eaves 1/4 inch. The roof sheathing is 7/16 OSB. But the hundreds of nails sticking out look really bad. How do homes built with shingles & open eaves avoid this? We are in a HIGH Wind Area too.
