Step 2 hold your first piece in place starting flush at one corner with the top edge of the board pushed tight against the bottom edge of the roof deck or flush with the tops of the joists. Run fascia the thickness of the plywood higher than the fly rafter on the gable and flush on the sub fascia.

This was then foamed to complete the air seal. Chalk your line up the rake 48 from the point where fascia meets sub fascia.
