The pics show the bird stop and soffit vents not correctly installed. I didn’t have a ladder or a mirror with me but it seems as though any type of vermin could work its way up under the ceiling drywall. Two pics are of the back patio and one of the front porch. Anyone ever see this type of transition from the ceiling to the bird stop?
Gary,
you’re right about bird, vermin, insect intrusion
misplaced frieze boards on open cornice framing
should be flush/abut with end wall material
yes i’ve seen shoddy carpentry
