Address Rafter-to-Siding Transition

Framers Got Kicked Out; Trying to Finish The Cabin (ep.5)
What happens here
A critical issue is identified where the architectural plans show a specific rafter-to-siding transition requiring a 2x8 sub-fascia that doesn't exist as a standard product. To resolve this, the crew devises a solution: trimming the existing rafter ends and then stacking two 2x8 boards horizontally to create a 'snub' for the metal roofing to go over. This customized sub-fascia will allow the siding to overlap properly, ensuring a weather-tight seal and aesthetic finish, despite the plans specifying an unavailable material.
Goal: A design flaw is discovered regarding the rafter-to-siding transition, requiring a custom solution using stacked 2x8 boards as a sub-fascia to create the necessary offset for metal roofing and siding.
