The soffit and the siding are actually 2 separate jobs. The new vinyl stuff-with-the-venting-holes in it (soffit) goes into slotted channels and locks together all around the house. I can't resist adding recessed lighting too.
Then the house walls are prepared for new siding by adding a layer of chipboard because back in 1973 the house was clad in a weak soft fibre board called "ten test" that wouldn't hold the new siding nails. After that the house is wrapped like a Christams present in grey non-porous "house wrap" branded Typar. Pat also painted all the trim, original eavestroughs and fascia in a contemporary warm white.
