I'm surprised that you didn't use vinyl or aluminum, Gary. It's very easy to work with for soffit, and, of course, the vented type would eliminate the need for separate vents. Probably a lot cheaper than that Hardi-Board, too, and certainly a lot lighter. The facia, however, would likely require a brake, although you should be able to rent one.
It also occurred to me that I hope you've remembered to plan for an access hatch for your attic, not only to install the insulation, but in case that fan ever needs servicing. Since you'll be running power up there for the fan, it might be worthwhile to install a receptacle and perhaps a switched light up there, too, while you're at it.
