Pulled apart some closet cleats in a house when I installed a closet system. How many nails do you count in this cleat? and it still didn’t grab the drywall well. go figure.

with that size of a picture we'll never know..

WOW!!! What a Ride!

I just realized something. Assuming you have a high speed connection (I have DSL) you can right-click on the picture and choose "open in new window". IE will automatically re-size the picture to fit the screen. At least you don't have to scroll to see the whole thing.
Of course, for those on dialup... never mind.
wireless..
worse than dial up...

Uless it's Verizon, my dialup gave me a speed of 1.2kbps this morning it took an hour and a half to get decent hookup.
T Mobile... 0.8kb

Thanks for that tip, Don! I have 'real' wireless (not IMERC's phone connection) so speed isn't a huge problem, but i used to save to desktop and open in Irfanview to view in full - and i'd have to want to see it really bad to do that.
this is wireless....

I'm confused..i thought you meant you were connecting through a Verizon cell phone...? S'cuse my bafflement...just got my first cell phone.I have a teeny antennae mounted on my house looking at a tower on the mountain a couple miles away that feeds my computer...are we talking about the same thing?
this lap top has a T-Moblie gizzmo in it.. works pretty much the same as the system you have.... only the antenna is built into the lap top...
wish it had an external jack for an antenna..
here in the mountains I get a very weak signal (35-40% strength) producing some dismal results..
in town it's a regular barn burner..
tried several of the outfits and this is the only one that would work here...
now go see if you understand what I said about yur puppy..

I'm learning all kinds of new stuff today, i am. (I had to google 'leader leashes' and find a harness before i knew how to answer the other!)
You can get USB antenna and signal boosters.

If you hold the 'shift' key when you click on the attachment it will do the same thing. Bawitdaba da bang da bang diggy, diggy, diggy shake the boogie said up jump the boogie.
The answer is 17 but I could hardly see them because the picture was so small, repost it at least 80 mb next time.
How do you re-size a picture? I was all happy I figured out how to add an attatchment. Just like everything else, you think you have it figured out and then there's something else to deal with."it aint the work I mind,

Greetings Boz,
http://forums.taunton.com/tp-breaktime/messages?msg=24441.1
is an old thread here on Breaktime that includes a lot of data on posting pics and the Irfanview download.
Dialup patrons of the forum cannot download real large files or will take excessive time.
Two things are necessary to assist the dialups with your photos. Making sure that the set file association is set to jpgs if you are using the Irfanview system.
The other is to keep the KB picture size to preferably 50 to 75 KBs or at least under 100KBs.
Don't know if the Irfanview system is still a free download or not, tho'.
I resize photos using Photoshop and also can alter the photo any way I want to. But I not figured out nor have I tried to post any pictures on BT. I guess I should try because I have some nice photos of my work I would like to show off.
17, Should have added some Piffin screws...

I thought I'd seen everything, and then I saw a rafter that was nailed to a valley with so many nails that each head was overlapping another. The framer must have emptied his magazine and then reloaded. I wish I had a pic.
musta been using a fully automatic nailer.
"The framer must have emptied his magazine and then reloaded"Sounds like an NYC cop.
"Sounds like an NYC cop."
Honestly...when I saw it, a vision passed through my mind like from the movies, where the framer in some fit of rage is just relentlesly unleashing the fury on the thing. Then one of his buddies has to run over and restrain him yelling, "thats enough man! it's had enough!"
That was in reference to the police shooting last week where a cop unloaded 31 bullets on an unarmed trio in a car. He emptied a 16 round clip and reloaded and did it again.
That is a really sad thing. I was not intending making light of that incident. Diddn't realize he reloaded. It was the guy's wedding day if I'm not mistaken.
Yes that is correct. No you didn't make light of it, just the phrase you used regarding the nail gun is the same phrase that has been on the news. I don't like second guessing a police officers actions, but this is a sad case.
"thats enough man! it's had enough!"
Now that's funny! I LOLLed. But I'm sure we all use a few more nails than we used to when we had to bang 'em in with a hammer. They're "what the heck" nails. As in, "hmm, that should be plenty of nails... ahh, what the heck".
here's one

The problem was he didn't use big enough nails--needed some 16 penny! Like the former owner of my house who put quarter round trim on windows and didn't miter or cope the inside corners. I went to replace it and found he'd used 12 penny Ardox about every four inches and construction adhesive!
Ardox, as in the Canadian type of nail?
Yeah, the spiral shanked nails that are hard to pull. He used finish nails, so I had to pull them with vice grips.
I'll bet if they had shot one more nail....just oooonnnnneee morrrre littttle nail...it would'a grabbed on fine to something.
What do you think?
I'm thinking the drywall could have been removed via the perforated lines left by the nails."it aint the work I mind,

Guy could have gotten away w/ using only 10 or 12 if he had the smarts to "toe-nail" em at an angle.
BTW....the definition of absurdity is trying the same thing over and over while expecting a different result.
You mis-quoted Albert. Shame on you.
