Soffit Framing

[mandoskippy]

Ok... This is going to sound like a 5 year old is writing it because I don't know the technical terms, so I am going to "describe" what my question is.

On our house, we have a lean-to. The roof comes off at a slant from a wall. When I was putting up the frieze trim for the soffit, I realized that at the end of the slant (there's where a tech term wold be nice) I was all messed up because the edge of the lean too that runs parrellel with the house no longer has wall to nail the trim too for hte soffit and the slanted edges don't line up with the soffit where it meats the parrellell wall because the roof edges contiues past the top of wall.


Wow... is that convuluted or what!

A. Can some abstract thinker put what I just put into tech terms so all can enjoy the whacked though process known as mandoskippy?

b. Could someone explain different methods for dealing with this (i.e. framing more slanted part of the roof out etc) and pictures are wonderful.


Thanks all... I'll go back to being a lurker again after this, I promise!

I may know what you are talking about? But tell me this, is the end of the rafter exposed???? I am refering to the fasica cut and are you trying to wrap the fasica around the permitter of the house???

Dooh..Completely lost me. What is a lean too? What do you mean the roof comes off the wall at a slant? Unless its a flat roof, they all do that. Are you talking about a shed roof? By slant are you talking fascia( the side that faces out?
