just got round to starting to fit eaves trays.
Removed the first few rows of tiles to see the distance between first horizontal tile lath and the fascia/rafter end is fairly close which means the trays can't be pushed very far up.
If I trim the depth of the eaves tray so it butts up to the first tile lath it doesn't sit on the rafters very well and feels like it doesn't very much support to the felt
Do people ever remove the first tile lath, push the tray up as far as possible then re nail the lath on top of the eaves tray and felt?
Is this a feasible option or is the additional thickness of the eaves tray likely to cause problems with how the tiles sit when re fitted? (Especially where they overlap)
