SS Roof Screws

[Jeff Miller]

You're right, every few years it is good to walk the roof with a
screwdriver and check all of the screws.

I wouldn't use aluminum rivets, they will likely corrode in the
steel. The screws will be fine, if you want them to stay better there
are several products that will seal and lock the screws in, many of
us use products like silicone sealer, I like urethene window
adheasive.

On the icemaker, don't call it dead yet. If you have the Redi-Line
(motor-generator) then there is a 4x4 metal box behind the icemaker
with a relay in it, could be bad. Try plugging the icemaker into a
different outlet, like the one labeled Insta-Hot, and see if it works.
