This is the worst way to install vinyl shutters. The PVC pins break from the suns UV. Very poor design. This will become a high matintenace issue over the years of home ownership.👎🏻
Great advice on not having to use concrete anchors. This looks like it will be a much easier job what I had imagined also appreciated the advice to go into brick, and not the mortar, especially since they had recommended going into the mortor and not the brick.
Thanks Brody, just wanted to know if the tile would crack and therefore would need to follow a special process. I enjoyed the tutorial, greetings from Mex.
All my soffit hangers are termite eaten I saw them from the inside when I rebuilt a door rough opening. So all the material has to come down and be replaced along with splicing some termite eaten rafter tails.
This is completely wrong in so many ways. Remove the gutter and replace the full width of the fascia board, not just a piece below the gutter which will eventually warp and crack. You left rotten soffit next to the brand new wood you installed. It would have been less work and lasted longer to just cut a large piece the full width of the soffit. Never paint raw wood. Prime first, then paint. That paint will last you 8 months at most. Change your channel to "Hack Of All Trades" 🤣
Nice job! Only thing I'd do different is prime the wood before the final coat. (Not a criticism, just been there done that, and I learned my lesson about primers.) Many thanks!!
That looks great! My sheds rot has rotted the base completely in that corner? What to do then? So disappoint Ting I bought the house with the workshop not realising….. can’t use it yet
That was one jack legged job. Should have taken down gutter and replaced fascia. Instead of putting in that little 1" piece of soffit should have used next size up lumber and ripped it on table saw to exact size of hole.
o thatFunny, people will just use sheetrock screws for anything now days!!! OK, all was going well until I saw you drill a screw through the drip edge? Why did you do that, I had my roofer comes back and redo my flashing because they did that
I think I would have taken that one length of guttering down and replaced that part of the fascia board behind it. I would have also replaced the wood with pressure treated or Hardie fascia, so it would never rot again. My area has a lot of carpenter bees that drill into soft pine, so I replace all soft pine with material that they can't drill into.
Yes good suggestions as it is probably the gutter and/ or downspout that is the source of the leaking water that caused the rot. It could also have been the roof edge drip flashing. So determining the source of the rot and fixing that before replacing the rotten wood makes a lot of sense and will save more work over the years to replace continually rotting wood at that location.
Great video, I have come back to it to watch it again. But, working alone, I am trying to figure out how to get the gutter out of the way in the outside corner I need to work on, without damaging the gutter. For the fascia repair behind the gutter, you only needed to remove a small bottom edge of the fascia. Mine is rotted almost up to the top edge. I wish you had a video showing such a repair, which seems to me will require removal of the gutter.
Liked your video but, it's a pity you haven't shown how you repaired the source of moisture that causes the rot to begin with. If that is not repaired, the problem is not fully resolved, and it is going to create more damage...
