Photo 235 of 410, Defective House

The front edge of the portico was face nailed. However, the edge didn't come down far enough so the face nails actually went through the edge of the plywood roof deck. If you've ever tried to nail into the edge of plywood, you know that it doesn't hold nails. Eric pulled all these nails out with his fingers (no hammer or prybar). Here you can see how far the nails had worked loose on their own - look at the nail about 1 ft down on the old copper side (and ignore the new copper side - that isn't done yet).
