The grind of putting soffit on the gable ends

 We've been working at height again, this time putting soffits on the gable ends. With the shop done, we've now completed 75% of the shop and 12% of the house gables. A bit of gymnastics was required to do the 12% house gable soffit as that is where the mechanical/laundry room roof peak comes within less than a foot of the house roof making for tight quarters for nailing.  After I struggled with the nail gun to get one aspect done, Bill pulled out the palm nailer where clearance was less than a foot.  (The palm nail is as named, a hydraulic nailing tool that fits in the palm of the hand and is fed one nail at a time.)

Good news at the end of the day though: our siding will be delivered tomorrow.  So fingers-crossed we'll be able to get all buildings sided before we have to beat the snow out of here.

My first view of the vents Bill put in a couple of weeks ago.
