Sometimes good enough and 10x cheaper is the right call.
- BizarroLand 5y agoIf you are making the home out of old growth lumber and stone, using materials meant to last is vital to the longevity of the home as well. If you're using engineered or dimensional lumber from 15 year pine, getting 75 years out of the home without major structural upgrades is going to be a rarity so you might as well use wire nails. Most of those nails would outlast the home anyway.
