As you enter the cut, you're trying to balance the saw, get the aim right etc ad then when you exit the cut repeat it all again. And probably up a ladder to boot.
If you can take back that saw and swap it then it will (a) be much easier and (b) give you a useful tool for later. I never ever use my alligator saw these days.

Sorry Roger, disagree with you on the circular saw. Yes some can be bulky and heavy, but get yourself one your comfortable with and do it in a couple of passes, jobs a goodun. Done similar before with studwork that's needing adjustment ie ive cocked up !.....

I can glue to side of fasica board as it comes down, and fix batten on inside edge or underside of fascia board along the length. Just thinking out loud. It's tricky cos I won't easily be able to pull up on inside edge of fascia board as the joists will be there at intervals.
