[QUOTE="imrich, post: 2471552, member: 22331"]I don't mean to interject logic here as some don't want to be confused by fact.

A calculator may be required for those unfamiliar with the paper or mental division process. In any of the pictures if you measure height of the S from "crown to trough" (i.e. very top to very bottom), write that figure on paper, and measure the distance from end of the roof V shaped horizontal project to the top of the horizontal slab/porch/deck, and write that figure down. Divide the S height by the latter dimension. You now should have the proportional height of the S to the wall.

Thanks LeHigh for your patience and succinct explanation which should normally allow proper discovery of S size. JMHO[/QUOTE]
