To install the barge rafter i pushed the top end tight against the ridge and ran it past the ends of the lookouts and the subfascia.
After nailing the barge rafter at all those points i cut the bottom end flush with the outside face of the subfascia.
Keep the top surface of the lookout flush with the top edge of the truss.
But once i start using a nice and straight 2x6 sub fascia and i usually send a deck screw into about every 3rd rafter tail to hold things snug and then sheeting with 5 8 sheets the lookouts aren t really adding much to the structural integrity of the eaves.
Or the crazy framers who sheath the roof with 7 16 sheets.
