It is relatively easy to add onto the rafter ends by slabbing on a 3 foot or so extension; enough to attach securely to the existing rafters plus 12" or whatever she would like for the new overhang. The gable ends are a little more trouble but still doable. Here is a link to an older discussion on the same topic. Good luck!
