Alternatively that trim could have been sawed and had it been done prior to nailing the battens even sawed with a circular worm-drive if you had one. Of all those alternatives I find in every way the axe superior and the more rational choice. Any dissenting arguments? I'd be interesting in reading them.
I trimmed many a roof in my younger days with worm drive saw. Sometimes even lightweight side-winder (crucial for trimming hip or valley rafters that need one cut at the opposite 45° angle than a worm drive).
A hatchet does a fine job and is certainly more fun but the boss man wanted maximum production out of the crew.
