Soffits

Today wasn't quite as productive as yesterday but that was mainly due to having a long (and well needed) lie in!

I started off the day (read as afternoon...) with some decorative work on the wardrobes. When we custom fitted them we left some rather ragged looking edges exposed where we'd had to cut through the veneer. I basically just stuck some decorative facias on top to hide the ugly cuts...

The second and time consuming job of the day was to tackle the Soffits which had fallen down before we even bought the house. The front facia which holds the guttering and soffits in place had rusted through the screws of one of it's brackets and as a consequence they'd fallen down. I wasn't planning on tackling it quite yet, but the neighbours are having their roof re-tiled and guttering re-done. As we share the down spout we needed something doing with ours before they could re-fit theirs. It took a few hours and was freezing cold, but in the end the improvement to the look of the front of the house made it worth it!
