In the picture below, you can see that there is just a small space at the top of the new gable wall that still needs siding. The good news about being this high up the wall is that it's above the living space so there's no need to put insulation between the tar paper and the siding. However, almost every piece needs an angle cut on one end of the other (both when we get high enough), which takes a little longer.
You can't see much of the finished soffit in the picture above (just a tiny bit at the bottom near the front yard), but the one below shows that one entire side is complete. Solid and ventilated pieces are alternated for better ventilation in the attic.
