soffit and fascia corners

Whats your take on boxing out soffit and fascia at the corners of the house. If you dont box them out, IMO I think it looks like crap when you run the siding into the corner to make a wing looking effect. To boot I am wrapping the corners of the house with Ceder.

Thanks

Can somebody explain what you mean by boxing a corner on fascia corners. I am currently trimming my own house and have had a lot of success making it look very professional. Now I'm getting ready to start bending the fascia but I cannot come up with a good way to make the corners look good. I have 6" fascia with a 1x2 strip under the drip cap.

Thanks!

1 in. tab it around them and make sure the 1 by 2 is about 3/4 longer with your 1 in. tab and the bottom of your 3/4 freeze board 1 by 2 is the 3/4 longer too

as far as boxing it's up too perferance 1/2 box or what looks like a wedge pc. or a full box, takes some practice to get good at them
