L-corner false rafter

Underneath, the rafter tails tell a deceiving story. The closest one to the steel is a false member. It's actually just a nailing block for the plywood. One of the cut-offs was salvaged to mimic a regular rafter tail because the underside will be left exposed to match existing conditions.

The face-nail method right next to the steel was a tough decision. It means I would have to cut the cedar board around it, and it would look half-hidden. The only other choice was to nail to the cedar, which was logistically impossible because the cedar comes later.
