we are finaly indoors just in time for winter 2

once the weatherboards are up we put in the finishing touches to them such as the corner soukers and sofit liners showen below

corner soaker cut to allow for the top

the first thing to do is to cut the sofit liners to fit in the corner between the top of the weatherboards and the sofit to stop air flowing through we do this my simply marking out and cuting the wood to fit for jointing we use bevel cuts just like the weatherboards and apply by drilling then using rosehead nails. but for the gable ends they are marked using a scriber to fit with the weatherboards shape also with all liners they need to be cut out (with craft knife or chizel) to fit the sofit conectors.

the next part is to nail in the corner soakers it is best to start from the top down an they fit uner eachother it is also important to press the soaker down before nailing and to make sure not to damage the soaker with your hammer
