Dry verge detail for flush lean to extension

[VDubDan]

Hey all, I'm up to roof height on my DIY extension. It's a small, single storey job with a lean to pitched roof.

One thing I can't get straight in my head is the detail for the dry verge system on the edge that is flush with the original house.

Obviously the dry verge will protude out past the original house, so how do you finish that?

Ideally you would set the extension far enough back so the roof line finishes flush with the main house.

Just cap the over sail off with lead.

Common mistake among builders never mind diy'ers

If it’s just the verge that overhangs that’s not really an issue is it? Surely a continuous external wall with a little verge overhang looks better than building the whole wall stepped in a couple of inches just so the verge doesn’t protrude.

Cheers guys, sounds like I'll just have to make it the best I can. Have to say, though, I agree with @23vc, I wouldn't go back and change it. Space was a real premium on this one, too.
