[RE-wrenches] galvanized barn roofing

[jay peltz]

Hi Daryl,

I have drilled a small pilot hole, put plenty of sealant around it, then lag through it with what ever foot you are using.

I don't think the cost of flashing around each foot with a rubber boot and 15 screws is any better but its sure more costly in time and money.
