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.
