[QUOTE=Mikeinnj;982240]Here is a link to Marco's web site with some great tips and instructions on roof top replacement information.... Mike

Thanks Mike, that is a good site. I also found it through Google search just after my original post.
Unfortunately, I goofed up when I attempted to remove the nails that were holding the old fabric down. They were not ordinary tacks but rather what I call "drive tacks". ie: the shanks are twisted like a thread which made them difficult to pull out. As a result, I inadvertently put a couple of nasty dents in the sheet metal. Finally figured out that if I raised the tack head just a bit, I could twist the tacks out with vice grips. too late, little smarts.
So that introduced another problem: How to remove the dents without having to remove the top wood underlying the dent.
