How To Install Fascia On A Birdbox

I agree with the previous comment. I wrapped my first bird box today and I could not have done it without your help. You are a good instructor. While I have seven more to build and wrap, I have one that is unique. No matter how I try to build it looks like crap so I don't nail it. I have to figure it out. THANK YOU!

Man. This is the best video ever!!! You don’t know how much you have helped me build my work shop. Keep them awesome videos coming. Your awesome!!

You're a great teacher!

I'm actually an interior finish guy and have never attempted to cover a bird box... I figured I needed a roll of tin and a break but this is far superior! I only have 2 birdboxes and this video saved me from renting a break for them.

Thank you brother just wrapped up our siding just before the winter hits here in the Poconos! It came out great …thank you !

I just wanted to thank you so much for your tutalidge!!! Your videos have been very helpful to us!!

Good explanations, good demonstrations, no fancy tools, i think you know what you are talking about. Best video on soffits and fascia that i saw, i know what to do now, thank you very much from Montreal Quebec.👌✌

Video is best I seen so far explain easy and simple. Thank you for your time!!!

Nice technique. If you use a regular roll of metal, however, and a break, there’s no need to extend the height of the bird box. Also, capping the corners is a simple way to enhance the professionalism and aesthetic of the metal.

Such thorough instructions. Just subscribed. Great video, thanks.

Where the fascia returns to the gable wall we would leave it long and bend out a tab to nail to the gable. Where you notched out the return for the wood fascia don’t break out the tab leave it bent out to flash the joint. Where the rake cap runs by the ‘bird box’ we install some aluminum under sill trim to house the cut edge. Less visible nails all around. I often used a small 15 degree parallelogram block to fold in end tabs on windowsill covers. Fascia return bends can be done in the ends of the brake. Invest in some flanging pliers and red lefts and green rights. The Vee you put in fascia bottom cuts is necessary to allow an over bend offsetting spring back.

Thanks for taking time to record this video while you’re working, great job. You're well-spoken and a good teacher. I like the trick of turning the blade around for nicer cut on the vinyl soffit. An alternate I did on my house is to cut the vinyl in a jig like yours and use a 7 ¼” diamond blade (like a tile saw) on a cordless saw. Works really good.

You are amazing bro! Explained things well with no unneeded commentary. This is exactly the video iv been looking for! Please keep doing these videos🙏🏻🙏🏻

You have helped me so much Thank you

Great video 👍

Well made videos. Thank you!

Thanks for the video. I’m going to attempt to install aluminum soffit and fascia on my 1960’s ranch with 24” existing soffits. The existing soffit seemed to be recessed about an inch so I bought a firring strip to install along the back edge of the existing soffit to nail/staple the 3/8” deep j-channel into. Hopefully it’ll look okay. I can’t find anything online that explains that part very well with that kind of situation. So far I’ve just been trying to watch all I can about soffit and fascia installation and there aren’t a ton of good videos with my kind of set-up. Your videos are fantastic and your instructions are very clear...so I feel like I learn a lot. When you were nailing the first/largest piece of fascia around the bird box and you said to nail as close to the wall as you could because it would be covered with j-channel (or stone in your case, how would someone have used j-channel there in that scenario? Thanks!

I’m kinda upset Josh. I literally did all this last year to my garage. Sure coulda used ya haha. Thank god for Shannon from household improvements. Lol. Found you because I just installed trex decking. My buddies and I were shocked how good we did. Thanks for the tips buddy!

Thx Josh .

Update: I think I found your video for what I am asking about. Novice here that is building a 12 x 16 shed. Just finished the rough out of the bird boxes. Now I am looking for the complete soffit install as I watch your videos. F channel, blocking etc?
