Attempt at soffit repair

OK so this is a complete mess. We finally got the gutter people to come back and take down the guttering. Why anyone would attach new guttering to this board is beyond me.


So as I was in the middle of my butch morning ripping down rotten boards, I run across this. at least it was too cold for the wasps to attack. I had plenty of time to get the spray. And Poof.

I realize she does not look like much at the moment. But all this will be hidden under the soffit. That's what I keep telling myself.

The good news is that I have a carpenter coming tomorrow. Hopefully he can make it all work. I know it looks a wreck but it is very sturdy. I'll give it that.
