I know the Plains House had some issues with debris and ice collecting in the trough. Our house has what's called a cricket in the middle of the roof, which is just a very gentle slope from a high point in the middle of the roof toward the edges. Then the water falls over the edge of the short wall into the scupper. The scupper box is a 20 inches long or so, and slides into a sleeve that's built into that spot to receive it. So the roofer in that pic is flashing the spot where the scupper and the roof and the sleeve all meet - basically the side of the wall at that point, the same depth as the rest of the wall on that side of the house. Much easier to see in a pic, but I don't think I have any of that spot before yesterday.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15021604236956560197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28956128.post-64511237962986845462007-09-10T20:13:00.000-04:002007-09-10T20:13:00.000-04:00Chris - first off, thanks for posting nice big hir...Chris - first off, thanks for posting nice big hirez photos - it helps when I am trying to decipher the detail of what is going on. <BR/><BR/>In your last photo I am trying to understand what the piece is just behind the roofer's brush. I assumed the scupper was a trough that ran the full length of the roof, but perhaps not? Is it just a spout at the end of the roof?Fenestratehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17804013129533722253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28956128.post-34137360221143508452007-09-10T20:11:00.000-04:002007-09-10T20:11:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Fenestratehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17804013129533722253noreply@blogger.com
