The steel screws we are using for the roof weren't available on the island. They have all sizes from 1 inch to 2 1/2 inch's. However because laid the steel roof over the insulation, this added another inch and the 2 1/2 inch screws wouldn't work anymore. Because the laps of the roof are 1 inch high, plus 1 inch of insulation would leave us with only 1/2 into the plywood. This is not acceptable for proper holding power. So I had to bring in the screws specially from California. I ordered the special flattened head style which is a better finish I think compared to what is available here on the island as well. They use special torx bits to drive these screws as well.
Pink radio, I doubt someone's going to steal this anytime soon.
Some vise grips for an antenna.
Flashing work about to begin.
First piece up.
Roofing screws being installed also. They are stainless with special steel tip to penetrate the roof.
Aligned quite well, not really important since no one will see these.
Flashing work at days end.
Closeup of flashing work. Looking good!
