Wooden trim covers corner joints and makes the structure look better . . . or at least, adequate.
My trim begins with the eaves, where two 1 x 6 boards run from front to back. The lower piece conceals the top of the plywood and supports the soffit.
The other piece is the fascia. It covers the ends of the rafters and also supports the soffit (not yet installed). The clamps are holding a 3/4” x 3/4” strip glued to the inside-bottom edge of the fascia to support the soffit.
Here’s a diagram showing the main parts.
Installing long pieces of wood requires help, but it doesn’t need to be another person. Here’s a picture of some of my assistants. Temporary supports keep things roughly aligned at one end while I attach the other end.
Next: Who knows?
