" All right now the interesting part of working on the shed dormer is trimming it up. On a threat we already have our fascia board in place -- about what are you working on over here to distinguish -- these out of -- Now these are also called rake boards vote both of these right that's correct good news in the piece of one by eight. And then they just dress it -- that piece of about one by three ripped down to two inches build it out a little bit -- and then of course you have the drip edge on top of the rest of the roof shingles that's right what's your next step in trimming out our dormer here north who have got this -- on we want to put carnivores on. -- spat with the cheek side. So that will be sure that when we put the face on we won't be looking at the scene yes if you want to avoid having. The seamer the kind of open edge facing out towards the weather. Right and how do you figure out the angle you're going to cut it that we're just gonna hold it. I'm vertically where it's going. And with a piece of scrap stock the old transfer method to transfer the angle of the roof. And lefties and that's that. And they just make the cut the you've got the same angle at both ends of that one by four that's correct. And now what we'll do it I have a spacer here. And hold the base of this the roof approximately three eighths of an inch why don't you want to butt it all the way down to the roof. Well -- get the add that icing that snow melting in the wintertime around hated you want to -- aid and myself freeway to run now clearance yet. Now I notice as you stuck it in at the top behind that rake board. It doesn't have to be exact -- on the butt exactly right threat we -- a strapping up here as they've got about a quarter inch fudge factor in this been really really have to be too precise with that. What we do want to do is be sure that we're flush out here to the base of the building."
" If that weren't. --"
" Federated cut the faith how are you get a figure out the angle for the bottom of the face who have noticed the same way whoever. All that up and vertical position. And can take a piece of the piece of scrap it to scrap and transfer the angle. Of the roof onto this case just put a pencil mark on it. Don't make their back."
" What."
" No that's cut to -- and it also wants to be kept up the same distancing clearance off the shingles right. And by putting in on the the faith last I can see why you do it that way we get the joint. Right through -- side that joint on the side. Now there's a section here -- require a triangular piece of trim what would you call that this is that it's as well there's a few different names cars and people caught -- and some people college they -- some people -- it -- boards but it's is the last piece that goes on and it basically just hides all these findings OK let's nail this one up and then we'll. OK not yet. The right -- triangular piece of wood that's. Piece of one by twelve you've got to transfer. The vertical. So that it's flush with your. Corner board there and the horizontal lines so that it's even with the lowest part of your fascia board there. And you gotta get that done here right I'll just measure down. The point that's six and seven eighths and then you can just stick this on here arbitrarily. As long as it. Covers the -- point. And transfer that measurement. I'm sure that -- on we want to. Plumb cut that's your plumb cut. It was a basic."
" All right. The want me. And it."
