How To Install Soffit, Fascia, And PVC Board

[@timbutler3213]

I always hit the like because you do such a great job explaining and showing.

[@TheExcellentLaborer]

It takes a lot of time to explain everything step-by-step, but that is the best way to get the information across. Thanks for your kind words!

[@Zii0N]

I never hit like...I hammer it!

[@TheWoodButcher86]

I just watched your 2 year old soffit and fascia video and then this one popped on my feed as soon as I clicked off the other one! 2 for 2 in a row! Very appreciative of your channel sir, thankyou!

[@joeybenjamin1892]

Im building a 28x30x12 garage. Your video's explain many things im trying to learn. Thank you

[@TheExcellentLaborer]

If you’re building something, you should find a lot of information on this channel for sure. You’re welcome. Good luck through project!

Nice job! If vinyl siding is going on the house I like to pad the back of the bird box with a 1x board. Then you just square cut your vinyl corner and run J up the bird box. Comes out nice and clean and the flimsy notch you would have in the corner doesn't looked gapped there. Also checking that your soffit is square periodically might save newbies from getting to the end and having the end cut be crooked. Also if you take part of the end cutoff and nail it to the end 'under' the soffit that will keep the very end of the soffit from looking gapped or flapping in the wind.

Move over Bob Bela, There a new Guy in Town. Great job and to Explaining in detail. 😊

Great tutorial.. BUT I highly advise against a soffit vent for bathrooms. I know you said it's for a half bath and that's fine, but for anyone installing them on a full bath, you might as well vent directly into your attic because the steam will rise through the soffit vents and into the attic. Best thing you can do is vent through the roof to prevent moisture accumulating in the attic and causing mold issues or worse

[@tracymankey9314]

Loved your videos you take pride in your work I wish you where in Arkansas I needing a 8/24 porch built❤

[@dereksparks9831]

That was an awesome vid

[@TheExcellentLaborer]

I appreciate that! Thank you for watching!

[@agpoetrycorner]

Lots of great info. Thanks!!

[@alfonsoaguilar9612]

Thanks for all the Excellent videos. I’ve learned so much. ? Do you have any videos to install wood soffits. I want that nice wood soffit look

[@cavy95]

Can you show how to renovate a 1960’s house that sofets is not big enough to match the ridge vent? I suspect if I pull back the vinyl siding, I will find solid wood or a few soffit vents. House gets hot in the summer.

[@rencleavus5213]

When extending PVC beyond 18 feet I stopped using 45-degree scarf joints. I instead cut a 3/8 x 3/8 rabbet on the end of each piece for a half-lap joint. One setting and one pass with a router is all it takes. When a scarf joint opens up it will allow water to enter all the way back to the framing. A half-lap will not as the opening is backed up by the tongue of the piece behind it.

[@vincebezzina4975]

You mention that you take off 1/2" when you measure the Vinyl Soffit so you have room for expansion and contraction. DO you still take off 1/2" when you cut aluminum soffit?

[@TheJudgeJuryExecutioner]

How far is the overhang for the building?

[@TheExcellentLaborer]

12” around all sides. If you watch the video on when I framed the garage, I show exactly how I did it!

[@hundredeyes5148]

Can I use a pan head screw instead of a siding nail?

[@geemanone2039]

I have built my 12 x 16 shed with no windows and a double door only. I am now ready for the siding but have never done vinyl siding. Using your great instructions I just installed the bird boxes. Can I ask the correct order of execution? Would it be....1) F channel and soffit 2) Aluminum on fascia 3) Corners 4)J channel around door casing and soffit areas 5) starter strip 6) siding

[@TheExcellentLaborer]

The order here will work just fine!

[@geemanone2039]

My shed has a step fascia (to match our house)....do you have pointers for making those pieces? Specifically how to bend it around the bird box?

[@TheExcellentLaborer]

I have not installed step fascia before. I have only installed step flashing before.

[@josediaz4703]

don't forget to thumb up the video....thanks i love you video ,,,,happy holydays

[@booterone1]

Good video, but in looking for the product, little seems available.

[@jacobbuckley8232]

How would u install the f channel if the walls were block?

[@Tool_Addicted_Carpenter]

Great video sir. Having worked with a lot of PVC, I highly recommend long miter outfeeds. I simply put an oversized piece of plywood between my saw and brackets and screwed blocks to the plywood that sit ~1 9/16" below the table. This allows me to use any 2x material, new or scrap, as my outfeeds. Most of the time I just use 6' 2x10s but for PVC I use 16' 2x10s. I believe the dewalt stands upright supports set to the lowest setting do perfectly accommodate for the 2x. This also allows me to freely clamp or screw stop blocks. I have a short video somewhere buried on my channel if you want to check it out. Very simple. You can do the same with your table saw in the front and back using a couple Ridgid outfeeds with 2x10s on top. I've also transitioned to using butt joints with PVC biscuits. It's a little quicker and less moody than scarfs as alignment is instant and it holds the end up for you while you nail it. I'd also recommend white pluggable screws for a real finish look but, realistically, you can get away with just nails if you glue everything. You're creating a brick of PVC as the glue molecularly bonds, essentially melting it all together. I also recommend stainless nails because the price difference is trivial for 16G straights. Probably $30 total for an entire job. Awesome work as always.

What’s the cat 6 cable for at the soffit?

[@TheExcellentLaborer]

It is for PoE cameras. I hope that helps!

[@dongbao240]

It is good and helpful presentation for DIY

[@jtesney]

Which state/city/town are you located in? I would like to find a professional to hire.

[@robthomas1829]

Never use vinyl soffit, go with aluminum soffit, much better job..

[@gailmike2001]

Ok one last time, your doing carpentry work, not labor work. You need to rebrand
