In order to repair something properly, you have to remove the damaged parts. Here are a few pictures of an inside corner that has had all of the rotted and damaged bits removed.

The water had ruined the woodwork all the way through the soffit and fascia down into the wall and window cap trim. Once it gets started, it sure can make a mess.

These pictures show the rot removed and ready to start putting back. The last two photo's show the band cut to set the fall of the water, and installed.

Again, I cannot stress the importance of maintenance and proper workmanship. It won't matter how good the work is if it is not maintained on a regular basis, and it will not matter how much you try to maintain poor workmanship, it will always fail.

So, in work, relationships, or life, always do your best. In the end, it takes less time and energy to do it right the first time.
