Attached Garage Addition - Soffit in new Garage

[ddurrett896]

hey just built an attached garage and the old house soffits are now visible from inside.

My plan is to run metal panels on the ceiling, but I need a way to terminate on the existing house roof. I don't want to see a clean metal roof butted up to old shingles.

One thought was to cut away, including the rafter tails and extend the brick wall up, with brick or a knee well.

The other though was to just extend the fascia up to the truss, making a boxed soffit.

Anyone have an idea? Thanks!

Build out the wood facia board to clear the bottom edge of the shingles. Then run 2x4 pieces up to the ceiling joist. Much like short studs. Then cover with 1/2'' plywood, running horizontally Paint then **** your metal roofing up to the plywood

easiest is probably to box the soffit in, if you want to cut the rafter tails you may need an engineer drawing to satisfy local jurisdiction
