Thanks Mr. Shannon, your awesome videos helped so much and saved me piles of cash and time. Checking the fascia for square is a HUGELY important tip, otherwise it'll get crooked and then you've got problems. I love how you do the corners too! A tip on house wrap I didn't realize until after - line up the marks on it with studs! It will make siding installation much easier. Also in my experience, get help installing the fascia - it flexes vertically incredibly easily and the upper edge can get caught on anything sticking out on your fascia board. Then if you don't see it and put screws in, it bends and looks crummy.

If you do measure ahead and find one length will work, stack a few sheets of soffit together, clamp the edges with vice grips so they stay lined up, and cut through them all at once with a thin cutoff wheel on your grinder. Saves oodles of time on a big job. The Skill saw with blade backwards trick works too but it sends metal shards everywhere and will often bend corners as Shannon mentioned. AWESOME video as always!

I wish I had hidden my cameras under my soffit. Since they are 4K cameras and standard size, people think my house is a security compound.

The overhang has plywood where you put the soffit stuff and then they put soffits over the plywood and cut like 4 1x1ft holes on the entire house. From what I've been watching &reading I basically need to take off the soffit and put way more holes in the wood. Yours is entirely open which is definitely way more air flow.

By flat head, I assume you mean slotted, correct - as in, you could use a flat-head screwdriver to drive in the screw? Or do you mean that the head is actually flat rather than pan head or round? I assume you wouldn't use a flat head screw because those are usually used with wood because they taper to the shank of the screw which would dimple the surface of aluminum - please correct me if I am wrong. Also, what material of screw do you recommend? It seemed that yours were painted.
