What happens here

Attach the facia board to the ends of the installed rafters, ensuring a clean and finished edge for the roof. Use a drill to drive screws through the facia board and into the rafter tails. This step helps to define the roof line and provides a surface for attaching gutters or other trim elements. Once the facia is in place, install the fly rafters (rafters that extend beyond the main support beams to form an overhang) and secure them, completing the rafter framework.

Goal: Complete the rafter framework with facia and fly rafters.
