I've got a deck that I'm wanting to screen in/roof over. My question is this -- the roof of the house that the deck extends off of slopes down towards the deck -- obviously to a gutter. Can I 1) pull off that gutter, 2) tie the NEW roof (going over the deck) to the fascia or rafter ends of the existing roof, and 3) let the water that runs off the "house" roof run right on off the end of the roof onto the "deck" roof and, henceforth, off the end of the roof into gutters at the end of the deck? The slope of the house roof is 6 in 12...I want the slope of the deck roof to be considerably less -- metal roof like 1/2 in 12 or something. Can I do this? Would that put too much water onto the deck roof??

Any input??

Thanks in advance. . .
