Re: Penthouse Ceiling Retrofit
Also what is the reason SMB attaches the bolts in the PH that the nut goes to the roof instead of starting the bolt at the roof and the nut on the inside of the PH?

Re: Penthouse Ceiling Retrofit
Sorry I would be using the Tnuts just like you did through the PH roof top to the inside lifting blocks. Just was wondering if there was something like these I could get at a hardware store. Thanks
