Roof Installation continued.

Install cotton batting over chicken wire and trim with razor blade or utility knife.

Al is applying black RTV in tack hole channels prior to installing the actual roof material.  You can use black or clear RTV (silcone cement).

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.
