Rick,
I think in this case that the screws used on top were too fine a thread and not long enough.
I agree with your words of caution about the screws. I've seen them still hanging out the holes on several occasions and been very careful not to knock them in. I don't think this is a job that just anyone should try, and the Utility might have some strong opinions on that too.

Has anyone seen or heard of any Fires or Injuries that resulted from a situation like this?
