Re: Eaves brackets 4May 19, 2009 11:11 pm I'm not really sure what you mean.... but if you go to the Porter Davis site and go to the Newtown home... that shows a facade called Noosa and that has brackets under the eaves. Is that what you mean? Kind of a modern take. I don't know how to do a screen shot... sorry. But here is a link.

Then save. The Porter Davis ones aren't exactly what I had in mind. More like this.65_Central_Street_cornice_brackets.jpg It was hard to find a picture of what I had in mind. Mike, that's the sort of thing I'm talking about. Maybe I don't see these in new homes because a lot of new homes don't have eaves.
