Re: SkinnyG's '61 Apache

Fascia board come in 8" or 12" width, but the 3/4" thick fascia boards I found didn't come in colours I wanted, and the colours I wanted were either 1/2" or 9/16" thick.

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.
