That actually helped me see how I will wire my security camera through and behind the soffit to the inside electrical point on my garage.
Thank you for your really handy videos. ;0)

thank you don! appreciate the comment!

[@TapelessDrywallFinishing]

Cool

[@homemend]

thank you sir!

[@amyraimondi]

Quick, entertaining, and helpful video. Thank you! Follow-up question - my home is < 1 year old and soffit is all intact, but I noticed in some places, the vinyl soffit is buckled a little, not laying perfectly flat, leaving tiny gaps between the soffit itself and the track it is laying on - 1/4 to 1/2 inch. Should I pull it off and try to fit it back in so it does lay perfectly flat or is it normal to have areas that don't seem to lay flat? Thanks for any advice!

[@homemend]

Hey, hey, great questions. Sometimes they lay a little funky… If you need help taking it down, you may try short, self tapping screws to secure through the J channel and then to the siding. Try to be as discreet as possible. I hope this helps.

Ya forgot my favorite tool... Calk and Paint!

[@homemend]

Absolutely. Thanks ac

[@orimotoizumi]

I am trying to put my soffit back in place and i wonder why there are a bunch of plastic clips that wedge the soffit with the inside of the fascia - they seem to be used to keep them in place but i can’t always seem to pull the soffit back in place for the clips to secure them (because the soffit pulls back towards direction of the house as soon as i let go). Is it ok if I don’t bother with the clips and screw them in place instead?

[@homemend]

Hey Sakura pop I’ve seen people use aluminum nails to tack it in place or maybe a small self tapper would work but you don’t have to use the clips. Great question. Thanks for commenting

[@jeni8210]

Thanks for mentioning that you don't hear baby birds inside first! 🐦❤️

[@homemend]

Absolutely Jay. We can’t forget about the birds. Thanks for watching

[@floridalottery3134]

@2:17 "BEE...SOUNDED LIKE A BIG BEE!!" HAHAHAHAHAHA

[@homemend]

I barely got away

[@yamuson08]

It's funny I watched this video today. Earlier, I was on the roof cleaning out my gutters and got attacked by one of those damned carpenter bees. Looks like that's what came for you 🤣

[@homemend]

Absolutely. They are ruthless at times. They sound scary but they are all fluff. Lol

[@yamuson08]

@@homemend they're definitely ruthless. They are destroying my carport. I bought one of those traps for them, but they are more interested in flying all up in my face 🤣

[@homemend]

If the woods not too bad you can wrap it in aluminum trim coil for ultimate protection. Otherwise you can liquid nail the holes. They will eat most caulks out. Crazy.

[@seeharvester]

Look out! Killer Bees!

[@homemend]

You never Can tell char. Thanks so much for commenting

[@FernandoRodriguez-ds5ri]

This story of the birds and the bees a bit different than I remember it

It’s a brave New World Fernando lol thanks for commenting

[@juantrevino8608]

I'm currently trying to repair some vinyl soffit. Unfortunately, they're nailed to each other under the aluminum faccia cover, so I'll have to remove faccia cover 😢

[@homemend]

Hey Juan, you might need to do that my friend and yes you were right to send the sad face, tried to pull the nails when trying to remove the aluminum coil. Be careful and if you can’t do it you’ll find somebody to replace it. You got this

[@homemend]

That’s what I thought! Thanks for commenting.

[@xinedonovan]

Why do I hear birds?? I hear baby birds close to the mic!

[@homemend]

Good ear. Xine! I had a whole flock of baby birds watching me seal up the soffit. Talk about nerves of steel. They were so precious!!! Thanks for commenting. .
