New crown flares out starter course for 3rd story
New composite bead board sistered over original
Today I installed the drip edge and fitted the crown molding. It was a bit tough sneaking it under the shingles, but with the help of a pry bar I managed. The crown was another challenge working with 12 foot pieces by myself. I ended up cracking one before deciding to just temporarily screw in place to get fitted, then
predrill and nail when it's all fitted in place. I'll just have to fill a few holes - no biggie. The crown really cleans up this section and now its ready for final paint. I do
need to sneak in one more row just before the shingles run up the rafter. Checking my photos of the originals, they ran these rows closer to the transition than I thought.

Holy crap that looks high off the ground! My hats off to you sir..
Man - you guys are doing a great job! I really like the color.
I'm dreading the small amount of fish-scale I have to do...I don't think I could have dealt with all those on your house!!
