Well Gentlemen,
You have been way to helpfull, so I will have to take advantage of you,
hahahaha.
As long as we are talking fasteners, I'm using a 16g nailer for the face
nailing. How long of nails do I need? Normal logic says; 3/4" material, then
3xs that for fastener length. But in this case, the sub floor is only 1" at
best. How long do you recommond.
Also, I have a narrow crown stapler also available. I wasn't planning on
using it because of the larger hole to fill. Which do you recommend.
Thanks for all your help!
