    For me, the ideas in ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxy_pn55PK60wAV3X_C_RoLS_67mNonoCE Plans were a starting point for building different sheds . Ryan gives ideas that allow an individual to draw nicest conclusions into the design and building of his or her own shed.

    Alot easier when your guy brings the right machine.
    I had a guy drill all our deck piles 100mm smaller in diameter than specified because he "doesnt own an augers that size" and we failed the inspection had to dig them all bigger by hand the rain set in and they all filled with water and got sloppy missed our concrete.....
    All because he wanted to avoid hiring the right size auger!

      We have 2 Hikoki guns and fire hundreds of nails every day. Sometimes the next strip of nails won't load upwards properly because the last 4 nails in the old strip might have dirt build up. We just push up the spring loader and hold it, then shoot the next nail and then always keeps going after that. Doesn't happen all the time, maybe 1 or 2 times a week.

    The wall leans in not to 'make it retain better' but because of the illusion that a vertical wall appears to lean out. The Romans knew this 2000 years ago when they constructed their many columns and incorporated such tricks that match the human eye's expectations.

    @fredericcouto141 5 років тому

    Hey Scott, have been using the Hitachi Cordless a lot recently. I also have experienced the misfiring after a few weeks of heavy use but found the culprit; It is the metal coil on the slide that pushes the nails into the feeder. The coil accumulates dirt and grime over time and it seems to hamper its ability to drive the nails tight to the top. ( Notice if it still misfires if you push on the nails retaining lever towards the top of the nailer next time) If not, then this was your problem. Clean it while extended with the Passlode spray and a rag once in a while and it should keep it in top top condition. Hope this helps. Cheers from Canada !
