Default Not a single screw loose

Hey, what's wrong with that.


Absolutely nothing. If I were installing 250 screws, I certainly wouldn't be using a manual screwdriver.

Just because they came up with a better
screwdriver, does not mean the craftsmanship is not "old school". The
end result is the right materials, used properly. And personally I
suggest that in this case the "old school" practice of aligning the
screwheads may be more than aesthetics. It also makes it much easier to
do a quick check as to any screws that may be coming loose. This could
also make it easier to spot potential problems under the strakes sooner.
If one screw is out of place, it's time to do some investigating... Just
some thoughts from my perspective


Good point, although I usually find screws embedded in wood don't back out, they pull out.
