I need some advice on this "d'oh" moment (although partially Grip-Rite's fault!):I recently built a small structure on my back deck that is attached to the house. I sided with cedar shakes to match the rest of my house, which were then painted to match the house. Structure is 2x4 construction, 1/2 OSB sheathing, 30# felt paper stapled down, then cedar shakes with an 8" reveal on each course.I purchased several boxes of 1-1/2 hot galvanized box nails, the correct fastener for the job. Unfortunately, the boxes were loaded with a different fastener, which must have happened at the Grip-Rite factory somehow. They were loaded with Silver 1-1/4 in. Floor Metal Screw Nails. I was stupid enough not to realize the difference when I started nailing the cedar shingles to the siding and didn't realize my mistake until after I had finished. Again, the boxes were sealed from the manufacturer but with the wrong nails inside the wrong box.These are the nails I used by mistake (I had to search a while to figure what type of nail it was):http://ift.tt/2iDm3wv question is, do I need to painstakingly re-nail the shakes with the correct nail? I'm sure these flooring nails will rust at some point, but does anybody know how long it will take for that to happen? I don't really think holding power is an issue but the corrosion worries me.The project was 5 bundles of cedar shakes so it was quite a bit of work. Don't really want to re-nail if I don't absolutely have to.Climate/location: ChicagoThoughts? Thank you. via /r/DIY http://ift.tt/2hKhArh
