Abstract

A method of making, transporting and installing soffit made by a machine that creates corrugated sheet metal soffit which soffit is coated with vinyl material which vinyl material coats one or both sides of the aluminum sheet metal prior to being fed through the machine that creates the corrugated soffit. The abstract of the disclosure is submitted herewith as required by 37 C.F.R. §1.72(b). As stated in 37 C.F.R. §1.72(b): A brief abstract of the technical disclosure in the specification must commence on a separate sheet, preferably following the claims, under the heading “Abstract of the Disclosure.” The purpose of the abstract is to enable the Patent and Trademark Office and the public generally to determine quickly from a cursory inspection the nature and gist of the technical disclosure. The abstract shall not be used for interpreting the scope of the claims. Therefore, any statements made relating to the abstract are not intended to limit the claims in any manner and should not be interpreted as limiting the claims in any manner.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method of making soffit and transporting and installing soffit, said method comprising the steps of:
 mixing a dishwashing detergent, such as, original Dawn with water to a consistency which will spread easily on sheet metal and upon a vinyl sheet, such as, contac, being applied to the sheet and prevent the adhesive vinyl sheet from sticking to the sheet-metal immediately, thereby, permitting the vinyl sheet to be positioned on a sheet-metal;   applying the detergent such as dishwashing detergent to at least one surface of flat aluminum alloy sheet metal;   applying a sheet of vinyl with an adhesive on one side of the sheet of vinyl over the dishwashing detergent to the flat aluminum sheet metal;   smoothing the vinyl sheet onto the flat aluminum sheet metal;   squeegeeing with a squeegee over the applied vinyl sheet and removing bubbles and wrinkles from the vinyl sheet;   running the vinyl coated sheet metal made of aluminum alloy through a corrugating machine which machine comprises at least two rollers, the first of which rollers comprises a series of peaks having a first diameter and a series of specially semicircular spaces in between the peaks which semicircular spaces have a substantially larger diameter than said first diameter, the second roller comprising a series of at least partially circular elements being configured to mate with the semicircular spaces of the first roller;   forming corrugated soffit;   rolling the corrugated soffit in rolls that are sufficient to cover at least one side of the house as soffit;   placing the soffit after rolling into a cardboard box or other box that has a slot in one corner such that the rolled soffit extends from the bottom of the box substantially straight through said slot;   loading the soffit disposed in the box onto a vehicle;   transporting the box with the soffit disposed therein to a desired location;   moving the box with the soffit disposed therein to a location where soffit is going to be installed in the house;   moving the box to a position where the soffit is aligned with the guides in the house which are configured to receive soffit from the box containing soffit;   drawing soffit through said slot in said box and pulling a length of soffit from said box;   raising an end of said soffit sufficiently high to be inserted in the guides under the overhang of a roof of the building;   aligning the end of the soffit with the guides under the overhang of the roof;   pushing the end of the soffit between the guides under the overhang of the roof;   continuing pushing the soffit between the guides until a desired length of soffit is between the guides to cover the between the wall of the house and the overhang portion of the roof of the house;   cutting the soffit to length with a cutting instrument;   repeating the installation steps of the first side of the house by installing soffit on another side of the house between guides on the other side of the house; and   repeating the installation steps of the step immediately above until all desired sides of the house have soffit installed.
