Let us know if you find that diameter/length from Grip-rite; http://www.grip-rite.com/flash/book/bin/index.html#/16 And, welcome to the forums! Gary __________________ Clothes taking longer to dry?

If you have ever banged a stud out that was end nailed, you would have seen that the nails bend...not shear off. The wood is giving which allows the nail to bend and pull out. __________________ Common Sense is like Deodorant. Those that need it the most don't use it.
