What's the plan for siding?
Any reason why there's no plans for some over hang?
It sure helps to have one. The siding windows and doors will thank you.
Anything I build has at least 6" over hang on all sides to help keep the water from just running down the siding and over the windows. It also keeps the drip line further away from the siding at the bottom.
I install the drip cap first then the paper, reason being if there ever was a leak the water should run over it, not under it.
Simple enough to finish out the rafter tails on the ends. I just use a 2' level hold it so one end is touching the tip of the tail and hold the level, level and take a measurement from the level to the rafter at whatever length. it needs to be.
I wrap all my fascia's with coil stock.
I use mostly PVC soffit material because that's what's locally available but aluminum would work just as well. I prefer PVC because it's not as likely to get scratched as it's be transported and cut.
