Gurus:

I had a new roof installed after tearing off the old one. The nail
points are protruding (nearly 1/4") through the underside of the deck,
in the attic. That could be a safety issue in areas that we use for
storage. I sure wouldn't want to come up between the rafters and slice
open my head on a sharp nail!

If I wanted to remedy the situation in some high-traffic areas, would
it be possble to cut the points off with some sort of snips, or do you
have a better idea?


Sounds like you have a working attic not a storage attic.

Meaning, that your attic is probly not suited for normal personel
entry. I moved into my house and the previous owners thought out
attic was a storage attic. Took me a few buck to repair all the
damaged. They thought walking around on rafters and crushing
insulation was a good thing. Besides my attic gets up to 150 in
summertime, why would you store anything there?

Is your attic designed for personel entry?
