Yet another thing I wish I'd done differently, we have no eaves on part of our house and so my bedroom, the study, the laundry, the games room all have bulkheads and they arent exactly pretty and can play havoc with putting up curtain rods.
So yes I wish I had put in the extra to put in the eaves. When it rains even just a little bit it comes straight in the window. SO you have to dash about the house making sure all the windows are shut. I like to keep windows in the bedrooms open a couple of inches all the time normally.
Eaves are goooood !!
