Hey Guys,
I started putting up this neat brick panels last week and everything was going really swell made all the measurements. I went to put up the last layer this week and I see that it doesn't match up where I thought it would for the soffit F channel. On my measurement I goofed up and added the interlocking flange at the bottom into the starting height so I am just a HAIR short of where the F channel was before.... see picture. My question is, does the angle of the soffit matter? If I simply shim it down just a smidge will it make a structure difference? The only other option I see is to use some sort of J channel below the F channel but then maybe I aught to just tack the soffit up and not use the F channel?
I thought about the J channel a bit more and as the panels are stepped each panel would still have 2 nails in it and would be inserted into the J channel and I could even caulk it there.... that seems like it may be a better option than angling it?
Any thoughts?
