    Sounds like someone did a drive by with a handful of roofing nail and winged them.

    Were they Simplex or regular roofing nails?



    Don't be so fast to blame the Roofers anyone can buy nails! Roofers get a bad rap to start with!

    I'm not sure injunjoe. I'm guessing Simplex? They were square headed little devils and about 3/4 in. length.

    Yup those babies almost always end upright when they land. Even if they don't when your tire hits them they turn up and stick right in. Be sure to check the lawn! Stepping on one of those will put a hurt'in on you!
