Using cedar with stainless coil nails but the collated wire is not stainless. Will this show staining in the wood?

As most of you probably know, a nail gun will embed about a quarter inch of the coil wire into the wood along with the nail. I have stainless steel 305 nails but the wire collating them is not stainless. Has anyone ever noticed that these leave tannin stains? I’m guessing it’s probably so far embedded and such a small amount that it’s not a problem but wanted to check in with the experts who do this daily.

Best primer for painted plaster walls with a few sneaky spots of drywall?

I was just going to use Roman 977 but they have other options that might suit plaster better? Am I overthinking this?

First timer here…Postmaster posts are making my nailers angled. Might be reason pickets are warped? Or maybe that’s part of building a horizontal fence?

You can see in the last pic how the metal posts flare out which makes the nailers not flush with each other. Is this just how it works or am I doing something wrong?

I plan on adding some supports across the top to straight the top row of pickets and also give the mid-span nailer strip something else to bite onto. But having never done a fence, is this just a “feature” of 5/8” pickets in a horizontal layout?

Tbf it looks fine from basically all angles unless you’re staring down the barrel of the fence as my pics show.

Has anyone who built on a concrete pad also added a floor? What was your approach?

For cost reasons I think I am going to build on a concrete pad. However I don't want to keep the floor concrete since part of it will be a playhouse for the kids. I'm interested how others have added a floor on top of the pad. LVP? Tile?
