OK. sounds good. Here is a followup...
would you seal the wood with a stain or preservative on the lap portion
before putting them together?

I didn't seal the overlap and haven't noticed any leakage.
But then I have trusses with a foot overhang and fly rafters with over a foot

Don't seal it with anything. It is a vertical overlay and that will allow
the water to run down and also allow for some give and take.

Same for shiplap. Install it starting with the bottom with each
successive board overlapping the one beneath. No caulking needed.
