Question toughest challenge yet?
Maybe or maybe not my toughest challenge yet but it's gonna be a pain.I've got a rubber roof coming up next week and it's about 33' long.The problem is that the house is brick.I've got a plan but i'd like to get a few outside opinions from pros whove done it.What do you guys think is the best way to fasten it to brick?

Like John said, but I'd use Tapcons...






Pre-Drill with slightly smaller diameter masonry bit then screw these bad boys in...





I'll post some pics of a job I did just like that...

Term Bar with Tapcons:
You could leave it in beautiful stainless steel bar with blue Tapcons
or paint to match like I did just to make it disappear.
