yesterday after quickly lining the walls, i put up the rest of the few sheets of wall sheathing at corners. around 2pm i was done that and rain let in, so i headed home.
today, i started late to let things dry out a bit. i set all the 24' ceiling joists and two 16' band joists at their ends. i toenailed one bandjoist, but that was painful. it's either the lumber, the nails, or my nailgun, but somehow more than half the toenails i shot, the nail literally did about a 120 degree turn to come out the back side of the band joist in an upward direction. what the ef?
so i'm going to try picking up smaller nails tomorrow for toenailing, perhaps they'll be less likely to be dissuaded in their course by the wood.
