So when we got to our destination last Friday, we noticed that 4 of the 6 screws holding up the light fixture above the kitchen island had come loose. We lived with it while camping, but before heading home I decided to take the fixture down because I figured taking it down gracefully would be better than it crashing down while driving. Anyway, I really think I can fix this myself. I'm guessing that they missed the roof trusses on the furring strips that the fixture mounts to. I want to put in some good sturdy screws to hold it in better, but I don't want to use a screw so long that they go through the roof. So - all of that said, does anyone know how thick the two-by's are that make up the roof trusses? The brochure "100 customer driven features" shows a picture of a roof under construction to highlight the insulation and the wood looks to be pretty thick, but I'd really like to know - and not guess.
Hopefully what I'm describing makes sense and I'm hoping that Jim Beletti or one of the Alliance staff can help me. Attaching some pics of the strips still on the ceiling.
Thanks in advance!
