What happens here

The first step involves positioning and securing the outer rake board. A pre-cut wooden board, which will serve as the rake fascia board, is placed against the ends of the exposed rafter tails at the gable end of the roof. It is then securely fastened into place using a nail gun, creating the visible outer edge of the boxed eave.

Goal: Secure the first wooden board to the rafter tails to form the outer edge of the eave box.
