I had to trim and shape each stud end. One fascia board did not reach from stud to stud. Both of the board ends were slanted and I had to trim to straighten the ends. That meant the board was about four inches short of reaching a stud. I cut and nailed a 2 by 4 board between two studs on which to nail the ends of the fascia boards.
New and old 2 by 4s. By this I mean, 3 1/2 inches and true 4 inch. |
Then I found that two studs were slightly higher than the others. As a result the roof has a 'bump', especially noticeable as it rises above the straight fascia board. (Where is a crooked fascia board when you need one?! ) So I had to do more adjusting to reduce the 'bump' so it wasn't as noticeable. No photos as my camera's battery quit.
I installed the metal drip edge as it got dark. Come daylight tomorrow I will see if I have any fixes to do or whether I can finally start shingling.
