Starting with how to place the first row of sheathing we cover fastening methods the use of h clips stagg. This would add another 3 4 to the thickness.

Installing the fascia before sheeting the roof solves a lot of problems. Most of the roof runoff is going off the roof not down the fascia board. This is a known issue that is directly caused by capping over the fascia instead of doing a proper job and replacing it. Gable end detail overhang cut and then rebuilt to hide the thickness of the over roofing rigid insulation.

I install the fascia flush with the top of the sub fascia. I ve trimmed my roof sheathing to run between 5 8 and 3 4 over the sub fascia. This opens the door to the possibility of water damage by letting gravity work. Chalk your line up the rake 48 from the point where fascia meets sub fascia.
