    I built a chicken fence this way.

    Hammer staplers are glorious but fucking difficult to get right!

    Whack whack whack whack fuck!!! Hit the fucking wire whack whack whack whack goddamnit whack whack whack

    To be entirely fair though I fucking love my hammer stapler and my complaints are entirely user error because hammer staplers are fucking amazing. So much better than hand-grip-activated staple guns.

      I have one of the Powershot hand staple guns where the handle actuates at the front, so you’re pushing down where the staple comes out instead of at the opposite end and it’s the best damn stapler ever.

      I don’t know why it’s not a more common thing.

  This is why my couch broke after less than 6 months. There were, like, a hundred staples definitely not in the right place.

  High precision, low accuracy. The stormtrooper way.

  The inspector allows a certain amount of misses

  I have much worse in one spot (that I can see) in my garage. No telling how bad it gets inside the walls. About halfway down from the top the staples appear and veer off in a curve to the bottom at which point their a good five inches off the target. It’s pretty funny.

    But do they allow all the misses for one whole structure to be on one fucking board?

    Nails have adhesive as well.

  Uh.. Shouldn’t you be using a 2*4 at a minimum, and not just a plank of wood?

  source

  • kn33@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    That is a 2x4, it’s just that the edge is fucked.

    • BeelzebubEiNukuKoskaan@piefed.social ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I guess the perspective is messing with my eyes and brain. The one to the right looks like a 2*4, the one in the middle doesnt. Maybe I need to go get my eyes checked.

      Or brain.

    What the fuck is a 2x4, and why is it only 1.5" x 3.5" ?

  Isnt the bolt in the footer supposed to have a washer?

  source

  • DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    And, a nut too, would be good.

    Looks like new construction and they just haven’t gotten around to putting the nuts and washers on yet. Houses get inspected for this and many other things before the drywall goes up.
