Guys you have made my day. I ...like many others ...have looked at a lot of plan sets thru the years and have never come across anything like this. I laughed out loud and will include at least the "nail" detail on every plan I do from this day forword. I only wish I had thought of it.
Outstanding, but the young kids in plan review won't get it.

The nailing detail has a glaring mistake that needs corrected. It says to hit nail repeatedly until flush… should say 16d nails gets maximum of 3 hits to drive flush and 8d nails get 2.
I had a young guy looking for work one day at the jobsite and I handed him a framing hammer and a handful of 16d nails… he averaged 13 hits to drive the nail flush.

Repeatedly doesn't imply any specific number, and could include 2 or 3.
