Here's my question of the day; What size nails do you think I need to install the furring strips onto the trusses in my shop? :dontknow: Yesterday, I used a nail gun that must weigh 20 lbs, shooting 8d ring shanks.
I'm thinking this is overkill, (mainly cause this thing is killing me!):wsad: and I'm definitely going with a lighter gun of some type. I have a Bostich nailer that will shoot 16ga finish nails up to 1 3/4" long.
I'm laying insulation on top of the strips and plan to shoot the panels to the strips and trusses. Would
1 1/2" staples be enough to do the job? :dontknow: I know when I try to disassemble anything that's put together with staples, it's a bear. Soooo, I'm wondering if they'd be ok for the furring strips and shorter ones for the panels.:icon_scra
Input solicited, and THANX!
