Yep. Had to do an accent shiplap wall in the powder room several years ago because of those bastards.
Would you say a finish nailer could be more universally used around the house? i.e. baseboards, trim, etc? I guess I'm not really sure what the difference between Brad and Finish is.
I have no idea if it's technically the proper tool but I use the shit out of my brad nailer for baseboard, trim, and lots of other projects. Haven't had any problems yet.
Can you just Renail baseboards that are separating from the wall or is that gonna be a replacement job.
I have an 18GA brad nailer and it crushed my last trim project. Nothing has fallen off the wall yet so I assume the hold is decent. Brad nails will leave a smaller hole to fill, but finish nails have a stronger hold.
Sounds like you just need to make sure you nail into the studs and re caulk. Did the original nails just hold it to the drywall? I've seen that before.
I have the $99 18GA Ridgid one from home depot and it fucks. The small tip on it allows for great accuracy and out of probably 600 brad nails shot, I only had one double shoot. https://www.homedepot.com/p/RIDGID-...y-Tool-Bag-and-Sample-Nails-R213BNF/304530407
Was told it was because of the house settling and shitty contractors who prolly didn’t put enough nails in. Also could be walls not being square. Guess these new builds in my area have had some issues. But hey value of my house is nuts right now
$10 says they shot nails into the drywall only and figured caulk would hold it long enough until it wasn't their problem. Assuming the trim is in ok shape, just mark your studs and ensure your nails are going into wood, then caulk and you're done.
I agree. Both tools will work, especially if your adding clue on the back side. I said finish nailer because it gives you more freedom for larger nails, therefore more heavy duty projects. If you’re see yourself doing more molding/trim then maybe a Brad nailer would be better.
Both are very useful and will get the job done but I totally agree, just consider potential future use

How long did you find yourself without a usable kitchen? I'm getting my kitchen redone and not looking forward to being without it and the nearby laundry room (also getting redone).
If the paint situation didn't happen it would have been 3 weeks. I feel like my contractor operates a bit different than most I've heard of. It's him and his 2 guys. They were there every day M-F approximately 7:45 AM - 4 PM. The subs he did have come in (electrical, plumbing) were there prompt when he needed them. We also got lucky with counters and initially were supposed to be 4 weeks out but they had a cancellation and we got them installed pretty much as soon as we were ready.
I sent a some really basic inspection objections back. Fix some holes in vinyl siding, fix garage door opener. Was hoping for 500$ off or something. Seller came back and offered a 5k price reduction! Excited now but definitely could have bid lower initially. 20k under appraisal now. Nice buying off someone who inherited the property and is just trying to divest and begin travelling the world.
If you find a light fixture with enough Edison bulbs you can grill the chicken by holding close to the fixture with tongs. That way you can save the ship lap for more accent walls. I know this bc I have a light fixture with a shit load of Edison bulbs.
It’s like one of the only houses that Ive favorited that haven’t sold in the last month — mostly cuz of the price tag lmao. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/...ssage&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=txtshare
That seems like it would be a nightmare if you had any kids under 5. And this is just imo, but I'll never own a place over 3500 sq ft again Nice house, though. That would be 2x the price here in dallas
Wait for package deal and buy both Brad and finish nailer. Bostitch makes serviceable, economical units. Not top of the line, but they'll get the job done. Recommend angle style finish nailer for better utility of use. And for God's sake be careful. I use them a lot and have had to pull several pneumatic driven fasteners from my fingers.
I sort of feel like if you shoot 50000 nails, one is gonna find you at some point. I've gotten framing nails and finish nails both. Unpleasant to say the least.
I was going to go battery powered. So was looking at ones that went that route. Is the air compressor route an advantage other than having an air compressor?
Zero experience with new battery powered. Idea is great, not sure about execution. Used Paslodes for a while, which were hoseless butane fired. Handy as hell but not super reliable. A small compressor is handy af, not expensive, and not super loud. If you get a battery powered one, post up with a review, I'm intrigued.
