Several years ago there was a very frugal plumber contractor near where I lived in northern Illinois and he saved every nail he could pickup from job sites. Would have his wife straighten the bent ones. He started building a house about the same size as this one and got about as far before a big storm blew it down. Apparently he didn’t have enough bracing in the proper places and with used nails that the sinker coating rubbed off from previous use and even rusty ones caught up with him. Felt bad for the guy but at the same thought it was funny as hell that he cheaped out.
