In the video, Greg explains that he often sees improperly notched roof ridges, where the ridge is not cut to fit the fascia board. This can be avoided by simply planning ahead and notching the ridge before installing it.
Here are the steps on how to properly notch a roof framing ridge for a fascia board, based on the video:
Notch both ends of the ridge board before installing it.
The notch should be deep enough to accommodate the fascia board.
By following these steps, you can avoid the problem of having an improperly notched roof ridge and ensure a clean and professional-looking finished product.
Here are some additional tips that you may find helpful, although they are not mentioned in the video:
Use a level to make sure that the ridge board is straight before installing it.
Secure the ridge board to the rafters with nails or screws.
Make sure that the fascia board is level and flush with the edge of the roof decking.
Caulk the gap between the fascia board and the roof sheathing to prevent water infiltration.
