Adding eaves to a skillion roof with no eaves

Hi all, I'm new to these forums but am starting off some renovations and could really use some advice along the way so thought I should jump on here and introduce myself and hopefully find some assistance.

I've purchased an old house in a nice area, so the worst house on a good street basically. The house is a stepping stone for a small acreage which is my wife and my dream.

We see ourselves living in it for say 4 to 5 years.

We need to make it more livable and presentable though.

So we don't want to tip too much money in but don't mind getting our hands dirty and spending a bit to make it a bit more valuable and livable.

I have a long list of things that I plan to do.. But the current one is that we plan to re-clad the exterior of the house and put new trim around windows etc. The house has a skillion roof which personally i'd love to change to pitch but probably too much work/expense.

So we've decided to keep the skillion roof as the colourbond is in good condition. But it has no eave at all, which seems when it rains a lot of water runs down the external walls and overtime has damaged the wood trim around the windows.

While I am re-cladding and fixing trims I wanted to find out if there is any easy solution to add eaves to the roof.. I envisioned some kind of 'bolt on' eave that maybe on the market?

Or would you need to remove the current capping, extend the rafters etc?

Any information on this would be much appreciated.

Kind Regards,
Joel
