You don't have the end grain of the wood exposed to the weather. "B" is very common when using a drip edge as the drip will protect the end grain.   Catfeesh (Catfeesh) Junior Member Username: Catfeesh Post Number: 15 Registered: 12-2011 Posted on Friday, May 18, 2012 - 10:05 am:        Is it better practice to cap the sheathing boards at the gable ends with a wood (in this case) fascia, or should the sheathing boards run over the fascia? Nailing the slate into the fascia at the edge doesn't seem ideal considering future repairs.
