Shed fascia

[smudge ★]

Put up the last of the fascia all by myself. Basically the porch roof portion. The top blocks for the posts made things tricky, and HoSmudge put a super tight wrap of d-edge on those corners. A little nipping here and there, and it was installed. 

Yup, pretty proud of myself.

Just don't put any on your planter. I hear planter fasciitis is very painful.

Thanks!! I'm also proud to say I did not hit my fingers with the hammer. Honestly, I have to thank you for that. When I reported the finger smashes, you said I needed to focus better. You were right. I had been not focusing by noticing how some things were bouncing a bit with each hammer strike or wondering if that was really the right spot for that nail or whatever.  I've done a ton better ever since I have made myself focus on each hammer strike.  My fingers and I thank you.

And I’m losing a nail in my left index finger.  I smacked it 6 weeks ago with a large mallet while setting a brick sidewalk.

Wasn't Shed Fascia one of the band members in the Mos Eisley cantina?

I think it is a latin courtroom term, like habeus corpus, :D

Prima facie is even closer.

Although she might be a singer like queen Loofah.

Lucas was brilliant to have included so many of today's famous things in his movies.  The things that are hidden in the background are amazing.  I might be wrong but I believe that Shed is on the right and Habeus is between him and Prima.  This song by the way is named "Mad about me".

And you had to use those little colored aluminum nails with gloves on.  I hate nailing with gloves on.

I used gloves a little, but mostly to protect the bottom of the fascia from some hammer blows. Needed to make the fascia get jammed up into the d-edge. Worked pretty well.  The temp was good enough that I didn't need to keep the gloves on all the time. I WAS frustrated with the brown color coming off the nailheads. What's the sense of buying the matching color?!
