Slating a Corner

Before moving on with the upper half of this roof slope, I realized (unfortunately) it was time to tackle the dreaded corner which i was hoping to avoid...for at least a little while. I knew the corner would be tedious and would take a long time as each slate along the edge has to be cut...
