By the way I learned this trick from Vikx... All I did was put it on Video for you folks to see. I've learned a lot from this forum...

If you have a Harbor Freight nearby, I'd also recommend the 3 inch seeming pliers for about $7 for straightening the edge. RinTin taught me that one in this post after miserably failing at John Palmers "dolly and hammer" technique. BTW, I found it was pretty easy to roll up the roof and just "catch it" off the back end by myself. It's pretty light and easy to move for one person IMO |

Thanks for the tip. You wouldn't have caught this roof by yourself unless you are Herculese... 18 foot trailer and Aljoa used really thick metal back then. |
