HOW TO BIRDBOX FASCIA AND SOFFIT

[@djnikzamora]

Good stuff man. I did this work like 15 years ago and needed a refresher course. Well done!

[@stephenp1717]

Thanks for sharing. I always learn something. Look forward to more videos.

[@Lifes_Apprentice]

Thanks for watching!

[@WeekendsExcursion]

I love how months ago I'm watching your dumpster videos because I considered starting that up. Ditched the idea for several reasons. Meanwhile hurricane Ian comes through and tears my siding/facia apart so now I'm trying to do that myself lol Thank you for the videos

[@Lifes_Apprentice]

Thats Awesome! Not the Hurricane but I am glad I helped! I have a few videos about soffit and fascia! If you have questions I am here to help

[@jeffkenyon7084]

I'm really surprised how many people think that looks good when I saw that first bend with your hands rounded and not crisp eh

[@thomasgradia514]

Just the video I needed to watch

[@hhprogressiveconstruction1140]

On that inside return fold a tab 1” tab up on an Angle 📐 to give more strength to it and a place to nail up into the soffit . I like to use my 6” square and fold those corners instead of hands it makes a cleaner corner . You can use your razor blade run the knife 🔪 along the inside corner then just snap it off no need to cut it with snips for that gable facia . Hope I’m not coming over like an ass ha ha 🤦‍♂️ .

[@Lifes_Apprentice]

i have seen it done those ways before. there is definitely more ways to do it than i showed. love the feedback as always!!!

[@charlesalegria73]

Same here.amateurs 101 😂

[@davidbrakefield188]

We use the brake to bend ours. It takes a little longer.

[@gsc01972]

How come u don't score it with your utility knife to get a crisp bend line??

[@Lifes_Apprentice]

you can do that i leave a very small portion of the bend in tact when i cut it with snips this keeps it slightly more ridged and helps keep it from getting wavy

[@gsc01972]

@@Lifes_Apprentice oh ok..

[@hvwoodcreations6278]

Nice work. At what point should you replace the actual wood fascia board?

[@Lifes_Apprentice]

if it is warped or rotten we replace it. when covering it with aluminum you can get away with alot. really you just need nails to hold and it to be straight

[@hvwoodcreations6278]

@@Lifes_Apprentice thank you. I have no experience in this but hoping to try it. We have a small cape cod style house 1300 Sq ft. I need all the help I could get.

[@DerrickFishes]

Thank you, this helped me out a lot

[@Lifes_Apprentice]

very happy to help

[@LockPickingCoalMiner]

Really nice job thanks for sharing

[@Lifes_Apprentice]

your welcome

[@cleec3292]

What’s your thoughts on putting like a hem or just some sort of stiffener(i don’t know what to call it ) on gable trim to keep it from buckling?

[@Lifes_Apprentice]

that is one way to do it i find the hem to work but is hard to flatten without some dents or dings

[@RobertSmith-fx7oe]

It's best to bend your whole box return out of a full piece of stock and cut it out so that when you make the turn the metal extends vertically to the drip edge then you don't have to run the gable fascia down to the eave

[@rinofriio97]

Excellent

[@allancampbell8274]

nice job

[@johnjaso385]

Good stuff bro.

[@Lifes_Apprentice]

thank you

[@hyphen2126]

At 10:40 just use your utility knife. Way easier.

[@DuStY_rZz653]

U aren’t bad but u should always use a square when bending flaps!!!!!

[@incognitonunyabuisness5192]

I love installing steel facia instead of aluminum, less oil canning... but for custom wrap jobs buying aluminum coil stock is the way to go.

[@cpm324]

So close yet so far from the best way to fascia.

[@drewdown826]

That thumb nail tho

[@incognitonunyabuisness5192]

🤙👍🤘

[@chriskourlos4407]

[@davidgentz1731]

Don't you guys know how to bend a hem. Give it a ham on the bottom of their on that where it hits the soffit you really like the results you get it looks a stiffer and full body looks like it's meatier you guys with your own edges and you just don't know what you're doing

[@rickyashe3399]

Wrap the rake trim first around

[@Mr10Pambolero]

Beginner

[@Lifes_Apprentice]

I like when people come and say stuff like that with zero videos on their channel about anything. You also give no reason for why!? If I am a beginner and you know better why are you watching How To videos on youtube?

[@scrapirongarage5889]

Try using some headphones with your computer to edit the sound your sound is way too low

[@Lifes_Apprentice]

i cant turn up the volume when i edit with my software i dont think... i have a new camera with a microphone but didnt use it for this video unfortunately
