I did get the facia primed, yesterday.

Good job on the soffits!

I need to do the exact same thing, but it's 20' up for most of it and me
and ladders don't get along these days. (40 years ago I was 31)

Linda and her sister inherited this property, built in 1954, when their
Dad died a few years back. To keep it in the family, and shortcut a
forced sale, we bought her sister out, then Linda "rented" it to a
"friend" (no longer a friend of mine, I damned well can tell you) for a
couple of years.

I asked them to leave in June of this year and started fixing the
problems _I_ suddenly "inherited" ... funny how that works, eh?

(I posted here earlier on the downstairs bath demo and remodel, and the
upper kitchen cabinets. I'm working on doors, drawers and drawer fronts
for the kitchen base cabinets as we speak.)

Wanted to get the roof fixed before I tackled what to do about the
overhang. Here's what I'm faced with:

Not all that bad considering the age of the house. I'm considering doing
exactly what you did, but I need to temper what I do with the fact that
if we decide to sell it, it would be a tear down. That is why I decided
not to replace the kitchen cabinets, and refurbish them instead. With
the tear down factor, I might just decide to replace what's damaged,
scrape and repaint.

Then on to the repairing the dock ... (tired just thinking about it).

Not bitching, mind you. It is paid for and, if the SHTF, it would suit
me just fine to live there, if I could get used to WalMart being the
social center of a much smaller universe.

Besides, I would then have to build another shop ...
