Josh, I've been planning a vinyl siding DIY remodeling project on a couple buildings that I own for several months now. Been all over youtube trying to learn as much as I can about installing siding. No one site had all the material needed to do the job. Your site and series of siding videos is by far the best there is out there. This one on how to install fascia in the peak was just what I needed to handle the fascia trim. It and all others were very informative, detailed and well presented. After watching all your siding videos several times, I feel confident now that I have the knowledge to tackle this project. I have the tools, time and definitely agree that it's worth doing myself rather than paying that extra money for subpar work. I also loved the jig you have made, will be making one of those in the near future. Again, great job, all videos were very helpful. Thanks for sharing your expertise and knowledge with us. Looking forward to more videos in the future. You could have been a teacher! Fred

Ok. One thing I’ve noticed you lacked explaining, was how you get it to end in a “valley” part of the soffit so it looks good instead of ending at the lower area if that makes sense. On the bird box you ended the soffit right at a nailing flange. When i done mine i ended up having to cut one right in the middle. The fascia will cover it but still. Also how to you start the first piece of soffit with no nailing flange, how do you nail it off so it looks good.
