Soffit moulding,scribers and corner soakers
In the last two weeks,we installed soffit moulding,scribers and corner soaker.I did a gable ,they are a little bit difficult.The moulding on gable should cut twice for weatherboard.
The soffit moulding and scribers are tapes of flashing on surface,they should looks beautiful and proof water.we must pay more attention to make them compact.
Install scribers:
2 coats of paint;
seal the back edge of scriber with sealant;
pre drill hole in every second weatherboard;
fix on with 50 mm rose head nails;
do not over fix nail head;
tight to the window.

Weatherboard continue
We are installing weatherboard.It is difficult than before.Some classmates doing a very good work.
It's very important to joint correctly as a carpenter,you don't waste material,don't waste time.I practised a lot, I can cut weatherboard joints and match them once,I am happy.
