I just added a nonsense pic. The others are wide open.

I did tell him that at least flashing should cover the opening. To have that big a hole at the front or anywhere on the home with just mesh covering it with a dark void behind (my opinion) would be just plain unsightly.

Besides, under the eves with the roof sloping away, cement board? To me it is just plain common sense to bring the cement board down to the roof. I know I differ about codes sometimes but really. Wide open gaps, even if there is mesh, Under the eves. Ahhhh, no. (just my common sense opinion).

Thanks

This is the only builder that does this for all the homes I have inspected. I agree with the consensus.

I did mean I would bring it down almost to the shingles. enough to keep the rodents out.
