What kinda nails are they?

I don't know about Grace, but perhaps we could do a deal -g-

I do loads of "home projects" (as they are called in the USA). My insurance co. just finished doing a subsidence job on my home and there was loads of raw materials left over. It was all skipped, and of course I pulled it back out the skip and stored it. Although the excess was steep on the subsidence job, the scrappped raw materials more then paid for the excess I think -g-. Amongst it was about 200 feet of 1mm steel sheet in the form of 100mm pile tubes. I've been cutting them up, straightening them out and making stuff like steel doors out of the panels. As it's El cheapo, I am using wood screws to join the panels. Those things are so friggin hard these days, I can thread the mild steel with them after drilling a pilot hole. I suppose they were made like that because of the power tools that are used these days, time is money and all that stuff. Amazing! and they were cheap too of course.
