So ok, let's talk about the soffit and eave construction. They seem to be built out of pine wood and are constructed like a box, extending out about 6" from the sheathing. Behind the low ends, the soffits are left open for vents. The returns (where the soffits meet the gable trim) are trimmed out with crown molding that is flat on the top (not sloped to drain water). The gable trim has a trim piece that is maybe an inch or two off the wall, to allow the stucco to run up behind it.
