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
Your videos are seriously some of the best information for building a garage or house. Clear straightforward instructions, excellent video angles, and good quality, no nonsense. Thanks!
Man I love all your videos. I am doing a total home remodel. You have a really good teaching technique and I learn something every time I watch one of your videos. I am working on the roof right now. Thanks for the videos!!!!
Great video tutorial. I have enjoyed them all! I've watched all of your videos and I've learned enough that I feel pretty confident now that I can tackle my DIY project. Building rake and eave ladders, bird box and installing vinyl fascia and soffit. Thank you so much for sharing your wealth of knowledge and willingness to teach others.
Thank you, Fred! I try to keep everything very informative so people can get the most help out of my videos. I’m glad you stopped by to let me know in the comments. Good luck with your project!
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!
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
Thanks! I learned how to correctly install soffit and fascia and appreciate your quality work. The fascia in my brand new Ivory home is falling off, looks like they didn't follow the instructions - Don't buy an Ivory home.
I am a do it yourselfer and love the way this guy explains how to do a job correctly but also reminds you of the hazards of doing things wrong. I've watched many vids in which the guy turns out to be a bonehead. Not this guy, He's bang on.
Looking for help on installing soffit and fascia on my new poach and I came across this channel and he explained it so good step by step. Awesome!!!! So I subscribe d! Now I am all ways watching different videos love it!!!
Hey William! You can definitely get it by doing the method I share this video with minimal tools. Thank you for your support. Good luck with your project!
The best instructional. How would you attach the channel to the block wall? Should it be an F channel or J channel nailed to the wood plank that is screwed to the wall? Thank you!
bro I've subscribed to your channel and watched many of your videos and i can honestly say you're not no labor your a boss so consider changing channels name
Thanks Josh great video! We here in Southern Alberta do not get the luxury of “F” channel, we framers must install soffit backing (2x2) cause of WIND! Then “J”channel is used. Take care.
Oh well you must have some extreme wind. F channel works like a breeze around here. My dad still does the blocking when he builds. Thanks for watching!
Can you post the part where you made up the difference between the fascia and sub fascia . Like the 1” gap that was left there. Where the take meets the bird box, I’m running into that particular issue.
I can't seem to find the section where you installed the little piece of fascia to fill the height of the bird box on the gable end. I guess it's simple enough but is there anything people should know about that?
Hello, how are you, I really like that type of work, it really is an art, I was working on it in Desmoines Iowa, the truth is that I miss that job, if I had the opportunity I would work in the same thing again. Greetings.
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.
Hi! Great tutorial videos! Im building my while house by myself watching your videos! I have a question.. what if my roof pitch is 10 12 .. and i have a 14 12 dormer. The birdbix is wider than my 6 inch fascia on one side,do i need to get a wider piece of metal and fabricate a custom piece? That is wide enough to get to the corner of bird box/gable sub fascia and 6 inch where it wraps on the other fascia board?
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
Thank you for your videos, they're very helpful and easy to understand! I didn't see this covered anywhere, but for 7/16" thick soffit, would I use F channel with a 5/8" or 3/4" channel? Thank you!
My Attic is foamed, do I need to close the framing underneath with plywood then vinyl soffit on top? Also plan on installing led lights and cameras so need to mount to something
Very educational. Nice jig/fixture @22:20. I used to make jigs, tool & die, etc. We are having fiber cement Hardie siding on our new build (which I know is quite different) - any experience or tips there? I heard a duck @20:36. ;-)
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.
Going to be taking on a siding project soon and wanted to know if 3/4 j channel or 1/2 j channel which is the right choice, and little reasoning behind it would be very helpful, I understand the thickness of the siding , has to be able to fit .. lol should of left this comment on a siding video
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.
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!
@@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!
@@mariesacul722 I am so glad I could help you. That is the main reason why I started this channel is to help people like yourself with situations like yours. I appreciate you letting me know how helpful it really was. Thanks a lot for watching! Stay tuned!
I really love your videos, always helpful. I can't find any aluminum nails in both local hardware. They tell me to use hot galvanized roofing nails... Would this be a mistake? Should I try another store ( Home Depot or Lowes might have them ?)
Great video it helped us a lot on our project house, I can’t find the soffit vent you used though, is there a manufacturer or supplier name for it? Thanks
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.
Where do you recommend looking for the metal fascia for 2 x 6? I'm having trouble locating it locally and none of the big box stores have any in stock?
@@TheExcellentLaborer I really appreciate your time. I'll check them out. I'll have to send you some pics of what I've built and a couple beers with all the help your channel has provided.
@@TheExcellentLaborer...I am using everything that you used in the video. Your S channel was nailed to the house wrap with the nailing flang in the downward position. I know YOUR vinyl will cover and hid the nailing flang. I will have already put up T1-11. I can’t turn the S channel upside down to insert the 12 inch soffit in but I don’t want the nailing flang exposed. Thanks elvinvrogers@hotmail.com
@@elvinrogers6397 oh that’s the “F” channel. Are not sure what your overhang looks like but if you turn the F channel up the other way you can notch it around the blocking of your ever hang nail it in behind the soffit. Does that make sense?
Hi, when nailing the facia on the gable side what if there's no soffit? How do you nail the facia since there's nothing to nail it to from the bottom up?
Josh can you tell me where i can find aluminum fascia? same 6" stuff seen your videos. I've been looking everywhere for it. thanks in advance, your channel is a huge help for me
What brand is the soffit material… Home Depot seems to be clueless about F channel… They have a product that looks similar in PVC but not the aluminum and all they seem to know about is J trim not S channel… Just trying to figure out where to buy it???anyone ?
Does the aluminum fascia come in a smooth finish w/o the ribbed look? I don't like the 2 lines running thru it and would prefer it smooth or even better with a wood grain pattern.
Tin Snips similar to the ones in this video: tinyurl.com/4v4uprhr
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.

one question bro, how many boxes of Siding are 18 Squares?
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻Good luck and more success

Yes it’s the correct order. In fact if you install the F channel 1st then you could install either one first. Hope that helps!

Does the aluminum fascia come in a smooth finish w/o the ribbed look? I don't like the 2 lines running thru it and would prefer it smooth or even better with a wood grain pattern.
