The transition from soffited eave to rake can demand some carpentry heroics. Only when the soffit is terminated at the plane of the end wall is the detailing reasonably direct, requiring only that the end of the soffit space be finished. This situation may occur with an abbreviated rake (see below) or with an overhanging rake (see below and 148B). As shown below, the end of the soffit space may be finished with a pork chop or with a layered gable—a continuation of the gable-wall finish over the end of the soffit.

When the soffit extends beyond the plane of the end wall, the rear side of the soffited space (opposite the fascia) must be finished as well as the end. As shown in the drawings below, this may be accomplished most elegantly with a Greek return, or with a simpler soffit return.
