So in this video what I want to show you is how I frame out my eaves it's not necessarily the right way there are millions of different ways of doing it, but this is the best way I found so Basically once you're ready to put your roof on obviously you're going to put your fascia on and you may get that done in Timber Fascia or you might get a metal fascia done personally this day and age I'd prefer a metal fascia but the big thing to remember with the fascia is that it must the groove in the fascia has to be below the Individual end of your rafters or you truss tails otherwise you never going to get your sheets in so first thing I do is I go up to the end of one run of wall and I put in a piece of timber that runs Back along my wall, you know, probably The same length that it sticks out past the wall and I nail that off to the actual wall, and it's going to sit about 10mm Above my Brickwork now Hopefully if you gave the bricklayer a drop off height, he's laid the brickwork to the drop off So that's going to give you about 10mm clearance below your below your eave, so this piece of timber, technically should run from just above that groove level Along your wall, so they should actually be let's get under here. So you can see it sits. Just above the groove and it runs level, nailed back to the actual wall frame and do the same about half way along okay, if you can get it the nail off to the side of the rafter that'll be that's pretty good and really need that and again 10mmclearance there and then the same at the other end now obviously if the bricklayer just lays the brickwork up to a height and you have to lay the Box the Eave up around the Bricks then you're not going to be able to do this step, but you can pretty much work it with the next step so in between those pieces I'm going to run a piece of timber So at the moment that's only supported at both ends, so it's just flopping around all over the place but then I'll put in some trimmers or some droppers that come down off my rafter or off my truss down onto the framing mnaterial These are generally tile batten or little bits off cut whatever you can find around the place doesn't need to be anything too fancy so then you can then cut in your Trimmers we'll get back to that and so put a trim in nail it flush to the bottom of the framing member there and it should end up Get out of there. It should end up flush with the bottom of the groove there as well okay, so that's just running just on the outside the Brickwork 10mm above it. So you can nail your sheet up outside the Brickwork now fly around the house With the windows commonly the windows set the set in and a half a brick or so from the actual the outside of the Brickwork so you need to do a little something a little bit different round windows because we need more support so what I commonly do it the windows is I'll nail that first that batten on to the actual frame of the window and that just gives me some support right up against the wall and If you do that for every window then you can drop your Trimmers in and Then where we've got a bit of Brickwork here. We need support out here you can then put your Trimmer or just a short length of timber in between those two pick up the sheet and the molding From underneath there now here. We've got a corner here and Later on we're going to put some molding around here and return it back into our window just to finish everything off So need to think about providing some blocking so throw trimmers in there as well. Sorry, but we need to think about throwing some blocking in that actually supports the corner of that sheet Corner of the sheet and it's going to support our molding when we put our molding in around here there won't be any molding across the window so don't worry too much about that the Fiber cement should slide straight in above the top of the window, so here's clearance there and still see our clearance and we put our sheets in right round and then obviously to finish everything off we need to put a type of molding and use anything like quad, square, Scotia Doesn't really matter as long as it covers up the gap The whole idea that 10mm gap is to give us some allowance for when the when the timber frame shrinks and studs Shrink in length, and the whole house settles down under the weight of the Roof that 10mm gap means that the roof won't exert any pressure onto the Brickwork and the Timber Frame will remain the load-bearing element of the House so everything gets a quad mold or some sort of molding Just to finish it off So important things to remember whether you're eve. Is that you're framing must be Sturdy must be able to take the weight of the sheet it must give the 10mm clearance to allow the frame to settle and you know just throwing the fiber cement in and sitting a brick on top of the on top of it It's not an acceptable method of construction. It actually needs to be properly framed out So there you go. That's my way of framing up and Eave
