Host, Sarah Rutan: When it comes to fastening wood materials, there are many instances where screws are preferable to nails. Today we’re in San Rafael with Diamond Certified Expert Contributor Luis Baldenebro of Baldenebro Construction to learn more.
Diamond Certified Expert Contributor, Luis Baldenebro: Here is a tip from Baldenbro Construction. We’re using a siding, cedar. A T&G 1’x6’. It’s a tongue and groove. This is the tongue and this is the groove. We’re using it for a siding between this frame. We have a sliding door, you know, and the screen as well, that this goes into the track between this frame.
And the main reason we’re using this material, you know, just to get access in the future. So, that’s why we choose a flat head stainless steel screw. But this was the nail. You know, the screw, we’re going to be able to pull the screw with the screw gun. And be able to reduce the board back without any damage. But this is using a galvanized nail. And pulling the nail will make it damaged on the board. So, that’s why we’re using a screw. In case somebody needs to get, to replace the wheels or do any maintenance on these doors, they can get to it without making any damage. Thank you.
