Now that part makes sense!
Sometimes the building inspectors won't even let you use screws. Nails
have more resistence to shear if I understand right. Unless you buy the
right screws. Simpson Strong Tie folks have special screws intended for
use with some of their fasteners for example.

And then you need to buy the right ones if you are using treated lumber
so that the chemical does not eat the screw.

Funny you mention that. The builders place I go to for my stuff told me
that the special screws were no better than the regular
galvanized/coated deck screws with the new formulation of the treating
treatment stuff. They don't even carry the special screws. Stainless
steel if you must then,
I guess it depends on who you talk to.
I have been using the ceramic coated screws with treated lumber.
Not sure the stainless ones are any better.
Actual hot dipped galvanized would be nice but harder to come by.
The gold anodized ones rust pretty quickly so I don't think I would use
them
Wouldn't plain steel nails corrode even more than coated screws?

The shear load rating for a #8 nail is 300 lbs. Old dry timbers are very
prone to cracking and spliting. I would not use screws for that reason but
instead, use nails with a good pattern to avoid splitting the grain of the
old stud. Also I would use the best glue and clamps to achieve as perfect
I believe in a belt and suspenders, and screws over nails, too!

I keep a box of 3 square drive deck screws on the shelf as a one size fits
all thing. I love them for just about any rough lumber project.

If it's old, dry, or brittle I drill a pilot hole. Nothing worse than running a
screw down only to hear the wood cracking as you do so. With the quick swap
drill attachments it's easy and quick to do.

I agree in regard to the pre-drilled holes.
Another choice might be to through-bolt.
When one is doing it for one's self one can often do much more than a
trades person would do. They sort of have to do things quickly to earn a
reasonable income without bankrupting the property owner.

Funny you should mention that.
I'm building a shed to put snowmobiles in. It'll be 4x4 posts with a shelf
at 48 and a roof over top. This year it'll get wrapped in a green tarp, next
year it might get T111 siding if finances allow. Keeping the machines out under
tarps all summer is hard on
Yeah, this is that thing what was talked about the other day. My email isn't
actually coming from Yahoo to you, it goes through the listserve, gmail is
balking at the listserve rebadging.
Have you added me as a contact? That might help.

Hey folks,
Recently I was out in my garage and found one of my spare amber 123 fog lights.
As I'd expected its not a sealed beam. I took some pictures for evidence.
