Ok, for the soffit. A little overkill I think.

Until years later and you don't get up and down a ladder so well and
have to replace a piece of rotted soffet. IMHO the fascia should have
been Hardi also.


Code or not I would have gone with the fiber cement, not really much
more expensive over any other quality material.



I thought this was a garage (secondary use workshop). Was it built as a
workshop and registered as such with the town?

Well to be honest I missed the comment about meeting code requirements.
I suspect tempered is required in the local maybe because tools are
often stored and used in a garage.

That makes no sense.

Cement Soffit? why

Probably fiber cement, AKA Hardi product. Why, it is not uncommon for
the soffit to get wet and rot. Much easier to start with it and forget
it. Replacing bad sections later is a bitch.


Why tempered windows?

Less likely to shatter when flying wood parts hit them.



Does that mean your house needs them too? What they hell.

My part was done about a week or so ago.
Now with the new codes:
Cement soffit, no ventilation on plate line where rafters sit.
Tempered windows.
Cost's just keep going up for the extra codes added.
