I noticed the barge board kicked at the eave in your first post and see it again here, is this a common detail in your region? I'm not used to seeing it outside the low country, and even there not too often.
You sometimes see it here on Craftsman style houses. I have been looking at the Nordic Classicism book and other Scandinavian sources and it is somewhat common to set the underside of the rafter to the inside face of the wall and then use the kicked part of the rafter to span from the outside face until it intersects the main rafter. I do like the way that it provides shade while still raising the eave but there is not much local precedent. I just like giving the eave some emphasis with the change in pitch.
