Straight grated shingles sawed from sound bolts laid four and a half inches to the weather nailed with two three penny blued nails to each shingle and no shingle more than six inches wide will outlast two successive coverings of cheaper shingles laid carelessly Poorly nailed shingles especially when laid in wide courses too much exposed to the weather will rot split and decay from too much wet surface underneath Inadequate nailing invites decay and ruin

Steel wall braces with four nails and two resting legs prove practical for stucco and other construction tasks.
