I doubt I will add the double layer like you did, though. I have a small home and with that power bills have never been too bad.

I'm curious what kind of metal panels you used. Did you get them painted white or a light color?

Thanks!
They are metal, powder coated. I did not use a light color that qualifies for Florida heat reflective. I think there is a tax credit or something. It was a while ago. I would strap trusses and screw plywood down. Roofers will tell you ring shank nails are good enough but no way they are holding as well as screws. Company was Solar Shield out of North Florida. Guys were awesome.
