Well I knew that the overhangs were bad and that I would need to replace them soon. I had them replaced a few weeks ago and its a good thing that I did. One of the full time guys on the department is a contractor, and he sent a few of his guys over to do the job. They started the demo on a pretty cold day, better them than me. After the gutters were removed they found that there was a pretty sizable gap between the roof and the face board that the gutters were hanging from. They also found that there was no insulation at the top of the outside walls.
So they removed all the overhangs and put all new face boards on, put insulation at the top of the walls and installed foam baffels for attic air movement.

So the new overhangs are complete and they look great, and I have to install new security light by each outside door. You would think that I would have pictures of the finish product but I dont, go figure. Maybe I will have some ina few weeks

I know this is late but still congratulations! It was a good move to fix it before the problem escalated and made the damage worse. You're lucky for having good handy men to help you out with this, as it's not an easy task to be done. Anyway, I hope it's still in good shape until now, which is not impossible with regular maintenance.

It's good to you know those guys discovered the absence of insulation before it does more damage. Insulation is your roof's best friend. No matter if you live in a dominantly hot or cold environmental condition, the lack of it could lead to ice dam and higher energy consumption. Sarai @ EdmundsGeneralContracting.com
