I wanted to put a new roof on one of my old hogsheds. It is 14x14, open on the front, and doesnt have much pitch, maybe 12" in 14'The old rolled roofing had blown off last winter, and exposed the OSB sheeting. The sheeting has deterioated from the rains, and swollen. ANYWAY- I went to my local lumberyard this morning, to buy materials.I asked for 1/2" OSB for sheeting, and was told that 7/16", was what had replaced 1/2" CDX, as sheeting, and that they didn't carry 1/2" OSB.I asked their price on 1/2" CDX, and it was only $2.00 a sheet higher, so I asked for 8 sheets of 1/2'CDX. I told the guy that I wanted 5 lb's of #8 common nails. He went to his bulk lazy susan bins, and started filling a paper sack, I had drifted along behind him, and saw what looked to me like #6 nails being put in the sack.I stopped him and repeated that I wanted #8's. He said that was what he was putting in the bag. (I am not going to repeat our arguing here) but I showed him the diameter of a #6 and the diameter of his suposedly #8's were the same size visually, only the length was longer. I then pointed to the size nail that I wanted, and he called it #12. It was the proper looking diameter, but was about 1/2' longer than I liked.I settled for # 12's, and took my materials and left pizzed. 2"x6"x14' runs 1 1/2"x5 1/2"x 14' long. OSB sheeting is 1/16" under 1/2", and now the diameter of nails has shrunk, OR is it just me!

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
