Overhangs

The rafter tails have what appear to be tongue and groove boards above them, even though they are very hard to see since they are so high up and so little of it shows.  Despite that we wanted to figure out how to duplicate that look on all of the new parts of the roof on the back of the house.  Here's our problem: for one, we didn't exactly communicate early on what our plans were so the carpenter thought he was going to build soffits around all of it.  So he just had decking on the unfinished rafters hanging over without any thought to appearance since he thought it would all be enclosed by the soffit.  That brings us to our next problem, now that we're retrofitting boards to the decking between the rafter tails, what do we use that isn't too thick and bulky and how does it fasten so that it doesn't pierce through the roof?  As luck would have it, I happened to notice some pine tongue and groove panel pieces on an endcap as we were making our way out of Lowes one evening.  Ronnie thought those might work; and after a few days, the carpenters were installing it.  We are very pleased with the outcome!  Once it's all painted the trim color, it's going to blend nicely with the old.
