Yes, got the fascia boards cut and painted and ready to go. I have a lot of vent openings at the tops of the walls though, so it would make more sense to put the hardware cloth vertically, to cover both the spaces between the rafters and the wall vents.

Drip edge is done (except along the top, I know that one goes on last).
