It's tongue and groove. The nails are sent through the rear of the tongue, so they're never visible i.e. no face nailing. The tongue holds the back side of the next piece (the groove) in place. Every piece is nailed every 8-12 inches.Prepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them, along with this slice of humble pie that comes direct from the oven of shame set at gas mark “egg on your face”! -- Moss
There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock

Originally posted by Surfah View PostLike Donuthole described. The nailer is angled and fits on the tongue of each plank. You use a mallet to hit the nailer. This closes any gaps between planks and shoots the nail in securing it in place all at once. The only pieces you need to facenail are the first so it's square and you have room for expansion and the last pieces where the nailer won't fit.I intend to live forever.
So far, so good.

Like, even if one gets a scratch on it, the other would have the same scratch in exactly the same location.

Comcast question.
My home is not serviceable. Comcast says it will cost $1900 to get service there. They will pay half. Phone dude doesn't seem willing to budge.
No other options for high speed internet. At least that I know about...
Anyone have any experience getting them to bend on this type of thing?I intend to live forever.
So far, so good.
