Quick roof over question
Moderators: Greg, Mark, mhrAJ333, JD
You screw through the raised rib. Water from the rain is usually not a half inch deep on your roof. Be sure to use roof screws with the gaskets and don't over tighten. You can also use a thin bead of sealer at the seams.

"If I can't fix it, I can screw it up so bad no one else can either."
What is the reasoning behind putting them on the ribs? Is it because these will b mostly out of any water on the roof?
I recently acquired a bunch of 1/2" foam for cheap, I laid the foam out and put the furring strips on top and have a lot left over. Is it ok to use the extras BETWEEN the strips? This would help with insulation right?

Yes, that is why the screws go into the ribs.
Putting foam between the strips WOULD help the insulation, but it may also create a condensation issue since you would have no air space under the roof.

A lot of the ceiling is still open and I was having horrible condensation issues in the open parts. So bad to where I could see it dripping. It doesn't help that I'm in South Louisiana where it's 70 degrees during the day time and 35 at night. The layer of insulation I put up under the furring helped quite a bit
