Re: Overheard At Home Depot: "Pointy Bolts"
You laugh but I have gone to Home Depot specifically for the purpose of doing research on individual products several times in the past.
There is nothing like going in to pull a specific product off the shelf and reading through the owner's guide and installation manuals. I even got the service desk to photocopy the page of an install guide for me once that showed the nailing pattern and specified fasteners for a pulldown attic stairway.
As I recall, that page specifically said not to use the little "pointy bolts"...or maybe it said not to use drywall screws? 
Anyway, I’m not bashful and, I’ll seek knowledge wherever I can find it be it Home Depot or even here!
