Eave mounting problems

Hi all,

I've just received the antenna and mounting kit, including an eave mount, but I'm having trouble mounting it. I'm using this eave mount:

I'm not sure if this is the proper place to ask such a question, but I can't find a stud in the place where it would be best suited for mounting, and wondered if I was doing something wrong.

I drilled a few pilot holes along the eave, but it just feels like I'm drilling into pine and not a stud, which I just don't understand. How could there not be a stud on this part of the roof? How could I miss it?

Does someone have any familiarity with what's behind the aluminium flashing on a typical cape style house?

I'm really not sure the information that I could provide to be helpful in troubleshooting my problem, or if I should just get a carpenter involved?

Thanks,
Dave
