Fascia and architectural trim boards are exempt from R327 eave-projection protection

installation-mistake

R327.3.4.1 requires protection of the exposed underside of rafter or truss eaves and enclosed soffits when any portion of the framing is under 12 feet. Exception 3 names fascia and other architectural trim boards. Wrapping fascia as if it were the eave assembly is not what that section requires. Confirm the drawing with the building official.
