Nails

Codeman:

It seems that with the advent of nail guns some 40 years ago the concept of the necessity to actually drive nails into the lumber being fastened seems to have gone by the way. What codes or standards can you direct me to to illustrate this rather elementary requirement to checkbook builders and their cross-eyed subcontractors?

Codeman:

I would be happy to assault the offenders with the literature you provided, save for the fact that no contractors still working today would understand the terminology. Back square, folding ruler, veneer caliper, et al. are terms familiar only to craftsmen, and no, I don't mean Sears employees . . .
