Fascia Boards

The original 2x4 fascia boards where 52 years old, and very weathered.  All fascia boards have now been replaced and upgraded from 2x4 to primed 2x6.  The larger fascia boards give the house more architectural interest and better match the overall Palm Springs Mid Century Modern look.

We removed the old fascia boards ourselves, and installed the new boards with the assistance of our framer.  We started at 6:30am on a Saturday morning, and finished around 4:30pm.  Unfortunately the Palm Springs temperature was 106F on this particular day.  We took many breaks, and each drank about 7 quarts of water (without peeing).
