It amazes me how much patience the old guys had putting in floor with a hammer and nails.  |
I am going to google L cleats.
Those nailers have changed a lot in a fairly short period of time. I had a 24x24 garage built in 1985, for $2400. They used hammer and nails, in fact I still have half a huge box of 16 penny nails left over from their build.
When we had the construction done here in 2012, it was all electric and pneumatic nailers. I get pissed every time I look at two of the decks as they didn't used screws, bolts or lags, just a lot of ****ing nails. Lots of them.
