Fascia boards would have cost me $650CDN, whereas these deck boards were $240CDN, which is cheaper than buying white oak in raw planks (zero waste for the Trex).

To fit these boards meant having an extra skid strip.
Yep.... Sounds like what I learned. You can find one aspect you want @ the cost of another....
The 'better' widths didn't come with color options desired.
Color options limited width choices or thickness of the planks.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
