During the time we were doing the prep work for roof installation, the vinyl roof material was out in the hot sun so it was nice and stretchy. Al & Dave laid the material over the top and started hand tacking it around the edges. Finding the tack holes can be difficult and tedious.

We decided to re-use the original aluminum "hiddem", so Dave & Al are removing the old nails.

Al is setting the nails. We used a modern style nail, the kind that have a "twist" for extra hold.

The header hiddem runs from the rain gutter to rain gutter. After it is tacked down Al used a block of wood to tap the two sides together. Al also ran a bead of RTV under the hiddem for extra rain proofing.
