Still no success.

I posted last week about putting some metal back on a machine barn at the farm, I only have a few things left to do on the roof. Tonight, ya it's dark already, I cut down a 4 inch buckthorn growing against the back of the shed, so I could get in there to screw the t 1-11 off, some how it come away from the 2X4s it's nailed to. So I got that fixed for the lady that owns the place, she's in her 70s. Needless to say I still didn't get the battery back in the farmall H and try to start it! And it's sitting right in the shed I'm working on! Lol, oh well one of these days, maybe!

Does it remind you of the saying "one step forward and two steps back"? Jim

You hit on the answer to your question yourself. The nails work out from the expansion and contraction of the metal.

My brother had to spend a few days on my nephew's pole barns screwing the metal sheets down because nails were working out all over the buildings.

Our neohew can't stand heights, so my brother climbed and put in the screws on all the sheets that were coming loose. There shouldn't be anymore problems; I forgot how many pounds of screws that he put in, but it was a lot.

Still no success.
