My soffit is going to end up flush with my bay door. Can I nail my f channel "upside down" from the way yours is? I hope I can. Thanks.

@atticusfinch4687 2 года назад

Hey on the last part where the bird box is wrapped and the fascia is I stalled, what is that strip on the top of the fascia on the back side of the bird box? It looks Like the facia is tucked under something

Great idea with the soffit jig. One improvement could be adding a measuring tape from the cut line to the outside, so you wouldn’t need to spend the time measuring and marking for every cut. Repeatable and fast!

@TheExcellentLaborer 3 года назад

Hi TJ! Thanks for watching and the compliment on the jig. I actually made a How To Cut Soffit video where I show the jig in detail and I said the same thing! Good thinking friend!

I use same gig but make it slightly longer. I add tempory stop with couple screws so I don’t need to measure each one. Goes twice as fast and more accurate

@johnscherer240 2 года назад

Good day .. nice work , my bird box metal and all my fascias are all custom bent. Prefer to have bend at transition to rake soffit to add support to bottom piece of rake soffit. 2) instead of nailing drip edge face ( which imo is a no no) back caulk fascia with dabs, and gently embed each piece of fascia into caulk (OSi) quad or something flexible.. fascia will never come off, fixated nailing along drip edge and into drip edge can cause buckle, plus, nails remove smooth appearance of drip edge Regards JS

Thanks for the vid. I'm doing a temporary fix on an epdm roof with a lot of fascia/sheathing rot from bad water penetration around the edges until I feel ready to install a metal roof. It seems to me I can do this as a separate project without having to remove anything again when I do the roof.

@rileylowell9839 3 года назад

Every body does them different first I use flat metal stock also when I do my bird mouth I don't let go all that way down that fascia all you got to do is wrap the corner fascia stock will cover it and back side birds mouth I bend metal up on to rake so you see white then run rake over hang another thing ish I drill my nail holes just a hair over the wire nail metal moves when it heat up content winks then when I nail I never hit metal always stop just short of metal and if you don't feel comfortable just use you vinyl punch

@TheBoydClan Год назад

This really is a great video, well explained and demonstrated and even included some tips to be efficient to limit moving of the ladder (which I am guilty of doing quite often). Well done and I appreciate your attention to detail. I do like building things and other home improvements and tend to do these alone so having tips on how to do this alone is super appreciated. The facia on the side of the bird box with a 12 inch overhang looks really great and overlap perfectly. Any suggestions on how to deal with an overhang larger than 12 inches? In my case I have a 22 inch overhang on the front side and a 16 inch overhang on the gable end so the facia on the gable end of the bird box is quite tall and I'm not quite sure how I am going to deal with that. If you have any other videos that cover this topic I would be very interested.

@Lonerider100 Год назад

Boy i wish i had found your channel last year! I am building my own house as well. Have questions regarding soffits. I had planned on using t&g pine and loosely place them under my overhangs. (To allow for air flow). Do you see any problems with this? I can sent pics.

@mariesacul722 3 года назад

On the bird box. When you put the aluminium pieces with holes in it on the bottom. Is that for airflow? My house has..rotten wood there. Which might be why it keeps getting wood rot under shingles. I.d.k.. but, I'm going to replace this way. Thank you much for great video. Very helpful.

@TheExcellentLaborer 3 года назад

It’s called vented soffit. It’s actually made out of vinyl. I did that because you need venting for your roof. So yes it’s for the airflow and not having that can cause your roof to sweat and rot. Hope that helps!

@mariesacul722 3 года назад

@@TheExcellentLaborer Yes, that is indeed what happens . It all rotted on an old house I bought years ago. I saw that the f- channel like bracket here was missing over the door. No air flow either. Also, the birdbox had a solid enclosure inside of box over the door. So, the aluminium door rotted out first. (directly beneath the missing part and solid enclosed box with no airflow to attic.) Then the interrior walls around the door started leaking. along with all electrical wiring. Dangerous situation all things combined. Thank you for all of your helpful videos. This is a very big job for me. However, knowing why it has happened several times in a row after repairing the first two rows of roof twice in the same places. I can better understand how this keeps happening. At least in part. Now, I can start with those repairs and go forward. Slowly and carefully. Thank you again Josh. Incredibly useful video for me. Keep up the tutorials!
