Hi, Probably a simple couple of questions. I need to trim a joist (2 by 8 inches) and have some hangers
formatting link
1) Do I have to bend the hanger over the top of the joist or can I just cut it (to the height of the joist) with tin snips.2) the hanger has holes for two different size nails. Do I need to put a nail in every hole. What length/type nails do I need. I read somewhere that they should be hardened.
Thanks
Jim
