Here's the corner where the fascia and the ridge connect. As an aside, the fascia was 3" over the existing ridge and I curved the new rifge to hit the hips at the point. The whole transition is seamless. Take note of the primer where the hip and ridg

The details here are subtle. My panels get fully seamed and ALL clamps off before the cleats go on. This relaxes the panel and puts a bit of give in the system.

This hip is being formed. All areas were primed beforehand. Note the paint on my tools. Rust is the achilles heel of metal roofing and must be fought from the time the metal is milled.
