Alright maybe this is just small potatoes but what is it with all the metal fasteners stuck all over my new lumber?Why do wood distributers and wholesalers figure its alright to put nails,staples tacks and what knot all over the edges and ends of new lumber.Even if you wear the proper saftey gear..ie. glasses and gloves should I really have to watch for metal shrapnel ,meat hooks and bit nickers.Its like Im using used lumber.Isn’t there some kind of hot glue or adhesives they could attach their tarps and upc’s with?
