There are also problems with the incorrect number and size of nails
& screws.
The AWA Guide to the Correct Fixing of Windows and Doors gives
the correct number of nails/screws to be used and this Guide is
available on their website.

The tables need to know the ratio between how
much roof area the wind sees as opposed to how
much wall area the wind sees. The building width
and roof pitch establish this ratio.
