Garage siding - exposed nails?
Hello,
I recently had a 26' x 26' standalone garage built, and am concerned by how the siding was hung. There are about 70-80 nails throughout the garage, poking through the walls about 1 inch. The nails are sometimes directly between the studs. There are instances of these nails from about 1 foot above the floor all the way up to the ceiling joists. Is this a common practice? I'm concerned about someone injuring themselves, and I haven't seen this in any other garage I've been in. Is there a building code that I can reference? If this is a common/ o.k. thing to do, what's the best way to cover these nails? I'm not too eager to put drywall up, however. Thanks, --Nate |
