[QUOTE="wiley coyote, post: 606766, member: 7587"] Thanks for that info guys. Wish I'd known all that last week! I'll never put any nails back in, only roof screws, which is what I used. I reckon the original builder must have had to pre drill every nail hole, as it's hardwood. Imagine doing the whole house like that with a brace and bit. No power back then. I tried to hammer in a 4" nail into the hardwood, and it just bent over after going in about half an inch! Pulling the nails out with a hammer I found I was putting dents in the corro, so I put a piece of pipe in the valley, and levered the hammer on that, which stopped the denting. Cheers. wiley.
