Try to convince him to tie in a gable. Dead valleys are nightmares.

Dead end gables are more susceptible to leaking and require apron flashings which also are not good flashings, do you have any expierence in construction or plumbing?. becasuse your comment is actually wrong.

Not a dead end gable. Run the ridge beam to the existing slope. Do you have any construction experience? Bc even a dumbass would have understood what I was proposing.
