Making a quick trip to town, he loads his big dog in the vehicle along with various items heading to the dump—wood scraps and construction debris. While at the hardware store, he studies the available fascia boards, contemplating whether to use 2x12s or 2x10s, leaning toward treated lumber for durability. Material selection also depends on what is in stock; he mentions the possibility of using 2x6s or even 2x8s if necessary, indicating flexibility based on availability and price.

Despite the cost, he understands quality and safety are worth the investment.
