Roof trim detail

The roof trim is that of a traditional Maine colonial, with
  • Roof pitch 10/12

  • 12" eave overhang

  • 6" flying rake
In this picture, the slight notch at the end of the frieze and fascia boards doesn't match. The frieze is going to be narrowed slightly to make them consistent.

Note that there's no vent in the soffit, in fact there's no vent anywhere in the roof. The roof will be sealed and insulated with icynene foam - what's called a "hot roof" with no ventilation required.
