In this video, Greg the carpenter, shares a tip for repairing a roof overhang. The tip involves using framing connectors to support the fascia board and prevent it from twisting. This is a common problem that can occur when the fascia board is not properly supported.
The video starts with Greg showing the back of a piece of fascia board. He explains that the framing anchors should be attached to the bottom of the board, not the top or middle. This will make it easier to attach the screws with a screw gun. Then cuts the fascia board square instead of angling it. He says that this is not necessary for this particular piece, but it is always a good idea to cut the board square if possible.
Next, Greg shows the pieces of fascia board that he has replaced. He used a framing connector to connect the new pieces of fascia board to the old pieces. He also used screws to secure the framing connector in place and says that he had to build a special scaffold to reach the roof overhang. He says that these brackets can help to prevent the fascia board from twisting.
