1.
Extend the lines on the face of the 2x6
to the edge of the 2x6.
2.
Install 1x3-8' boards on the sidewall.
Use a 2x6 soffit block as a gauge to
install the 1x3 at the correct height.
Nail the 1x3 boards to each wall stud
with one 10d nail. When installed, the
soffit blocks must be set directly below
the trusses.
3.
Position the 2x6 soffit blocks between the 1x3 board
and the 2x6 truss plate. Secure the top of the soffit
blocks in place by screwing through the 2x6 truss
plate into the soffit block. Secure the bottom by toe-
nailing through the bottom of the 2x6 soffit block
into the 1x3 board. Use 7d coated nails. Install the
soffit overhang on the opposite side of the building.
