Mount bargeboards - height for slope on the water board
Put up short fascia boards on part of the house. It's not super easy to hit the perfect angle/height on the fascia boards and now I see that the drip edge (or fascia metal) doesn't have an even slope down to the roof tiles.
Down towards the end of the roof, the fascia metal angles out to be almost straight while at the upper part it looks quite good in terms of the slope. It's not a huge "mistake." I don't have a picture right now, as it's evening. I can take one tomorrow.
What would you do?
1. Tear down the fascia boards and redo it. What about nail holes in the fascia boards/moulding?
2. Split a moulding and place it between the top edge of the fascia board and the fascia metal to raise the metal slightly towards the end of the roof.
3. Other options?

3. Let it be if the appearance doesn't bother you. The plate protects the wind board and stops most of the water/leaves etc that come from above. You'll need to go up and check that leaves haven't accumulated, which bind water and lead to rot in the roof battens from time to time (once a year/every other year). If it turns out that leaves often accumulate, it might be worth addressing then.
