What happens here

This DIY project details the process of painting the exterior fascia on a new construction home using an extension pole and a ladder. It highlights the challenges of working in cold weather and adhering to tight construction schedules, specifically the need to paint the fascia before the roof's drip metal is installed.

Today, I'm working on a new construction job and we're using show and Williams latitude. It's 36 degrees outside. It's pretty dang cold, but I've been working pretty hard. So I actually took my jacket off. So it doesn't look as cold as it actually is, but it's a sunny day. And I'm using an extension pole to reach this fascia. The builder wanted the roof on right away, and I've got to try to get this fascia. You know, done so the roof drip metal can go over the top of the fascia and I don't have to cut it in, painstakingly in the end. New construction sometimes, the paint on the back, scheduling is a paint on the back. Sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do. And today I'm doing it with an extension pole.
