Thanks for telling me how that "ought" to have been done. Now that I
think about it.....I should have tried that....Well...I am not taking
it off for the third time!! You have quite the web site for your shop
constuction, very nice..

Damn....now all I can think about is my roof....

Thanks for the kind words,
But mine is FAR from perfect! :-( As the builder you see things that others
never will, in fact they are glaring to you, and all most invisible to
most. Unless the roof leaks I would not worry about it not be "perfect" if
I had, I wouldn't have ever finished ( well it's not finished yet I still
have to hide the roof edge with the gutters :-) That way you will not be
able to see the slight changes of the panels! The thing that really makes
me mad is the misses on the perlins with the screws. I'm going to go up and
remove the stitch screws from the miss holes and replace them with large
head stainless rivets and use mastic under them and polyurethane calk over
the heads.

Last bit of advice...If everything is square from the start, you roof
sheets should go on square...this is about the only thing that is
visible to anyone, that being the edges of your roof, if your eaves
don't run right, everyone will see it....If you can figure out how to
get the first roof panel on stright and square, then all the others
will follow...( if you figure out how to do this,,then let me know, I
took my roof off twice in order to correct it...it is still not
streight)

You can "adjust" the roof panels with a high rib pattern ( most common
panel
style ) on a roof over purlins by stretching ( or not ) the panels as
you
install them. The width of them changes a lot depending on how hard
you
press and flatten out the ribs ( especially over the common poly backed
insulation) you can see the tons of fun I had installing them on my
building
