Tony tip time!!!

What happens here

The presenter begins by explaining the construction timeline and the immediate task of preparing for the soffit. He then shares a 'trick' he learned from siding installation: using metal flashing as an alternative to traditional J-channel. He specifies that a piece of metal, approximately 2 inches by 2 inches, is being installed along the eave. He further details that the final soffit will consist of two layers of 3/4 inch PVC, creating an approximately 1.5-inch thick detail. The white metal flashing ensures that once the PVC soffit is installed, there won't be any visible gaps or unfinished areas behind it, contributing to a clean and finished aesthetic.

Goal: The presenter introduces a method of using metal flashing to create a clean base for soffit installation, explaining how it benefits the final aesthetic and detailing the materials to be used.

we're going to be in a little bit of a rush we want to try to get the beam up all finished which will allow our roofers to install their metal roof beam so I'm working on prepping for our saet a nice little trick that I learned way back when with siding is you can buy past J channel I'm putting a piece of metal up it's about 2 in x 2 in and then our detail here is going to be 3/4 in PVC doubled up so that's about an inch and a half so once I put my sopit up and put those two layers of PVC you'll never be able the SE back there and the white metal allows for it to look white behind the sfet it's a nice clean finish
