What is the drain pipe doing?
This came with the house, what is the purpose of this? It probably ties into the sump pump drainage system, but can I bury it?

The garage is unfinished inside and I noticed that during the day there is daylight shining through all along the eave / soffit portion (I think that's what it's called. Basically where the high wall meets the top of the roof). I have also noticed a little bit of water damage on the high wall (which may be just do to the older roof) and a lot of / squirrel droppings.

-Are these gaps normal?
-Should they be sealed up?
-If so - how do I go about doing this? Expanding foam seems like it would make a mess as it expands to the outside.
-I do plan on finishing the inside of the garage at some point - so while I'm up there, would I need to install vents in the soffit?
