WOODWORKING QUIZ for 20 July 04

[Ralph Jones]

Good Evening Friends,
When a sloping gable end meets the leading edge of the front and back of a structure. What is the most eye appealing finish you can apply where the sloping gable meets the level soffet?

Respectfully,

[journeyman Mick]

Sorry Ralphie, I just can't picture this. Do you mean a sloping gable END? - I've never seen one of these, or do you mean the raked soffit that flys past the gable end?

Mick :confused:

[Ralph Jones]

Hello Mick,
What I am meaning is when the rake of the gable comes down to the front and back soffet. What needs to be done to make it look right?

Respectfully,

[Bob Willson]

Naked nubile young nymphs tacked all along the edge would be very appealing to me.

Lost me too I'm afraid Ralph.

Isn't a sloping gable called a Hip?

Bob gets the prize for "best decorated sloping gable" though.

Good Morning Friends,
It appears I have confused you fellows, somewhat so I am going to try ti insert a drawing to give you an idea of what I am talking about.

Don't know if this will work or not.

Sorry guys that didn't work either.

I think you're talking about where the eave sheet butts into the bottom corner of the gable end. There's a right angle join between the eave sheet and the gable sheet. I don't know the traditional or correct way of dealing with that but I just fixed a bit of 2x1 that ran the width of the gable between the facsia on either side with a groove to take the eave sheet.

[Ralph Jones]

Good Evening Friends,
The front and back soffet are level and are boxed on the ends of the house and when the gable slope meets the boxed end it stops, therefore the facia will be cut to fit the box, or a piece added on the bottom to blend in and look as if it were part of that box.

Hope you get the picture now. By the way how does one post a picture on this forum?

By the way how does one post a picture on this forum?

One goes just a little further down the page and looks at the bit where it says "Manage attachments". One clicks on this and manages to attach ones piccys.

Hello Bob Wilson,
Thank you for the information, now I will try to insert the picture I tried yesterday.

Respectfully,
