Keith and his crew arrived today and started wrapping the soffits. They set up a 10' metal brake in the garage to form the aluminum trim pieces that wrap the gable ends, gutter boards, frieze boards, and bird boxes. Ventilated soffit goes on the underside of the eaves. We opted for a no-maintenance exterior here so we don't have to repaint down the road, especially since Keith says it it will take a 40' extension ladder to reach the top of the Great Room gable in back! When I heard that, I thought "Man, am I glad I won't be up there painting that in the future!"
