This was the condition of the pool area and soffit before we purchased the property. The soffit at the near corner from my camera had a plywood patch over rotten soffit and the soffit at anothr had some water damage.
We replaced approximately twelve inches by four foot of the roof and would install a new corner joist by attaching two boards on either side the existing joist and new section and replaced rotten lumber by the inside corner. We replaced some of the fascia between the pool cage and the roof joists, which was slightly damaged.
This is the replaced soffit is along the apartment kitchen and dining room wall. We moved the floodlights, which were positioned in front of the apartment patio doors, positioned them away from the doors and centered directly behind the pool steps. The stereo speakers are wired to an AMFM stereo receiver & sometime attached laptop, which is lcoated in the master bedroom.
