It is not at all necessary to put 12 nails into 6 feet of door trim. Nor is it necessary to use 2+ inch nails to do so. Really. 4 or 5 would do. 1-1/4 or maybe 1-1/2 if you want to go really crazy. But 12 is overboard, 2+ inch nails is just overkill, and 7-8 coats of paint without ever taping or sanding is just too much. Which is why all of the baseboards & door trim came off this weekend, to be replaced. And why I have several bloody, bruised knuckles. Stupid nails.
