I left the original aluminum panels in place then covered the entire roof with an insulating moister barrier. I then went about placing each panel with .5 inch stainless steel, pan head self-taping screws. Each panel has 8 screws. Prior to drilling, I dipped each screw head into clear silicone for a little extra hold and seal. Worked great! Along some of the major beams, I used 1.0 inch screws.

I finished the entire project yesterday and will get some pictures posted soon!
