Paying to screw

That's a lotta screwing around you're planning on at a guess 
We tend to buy Turbogold etc screws from Screwfix (we got about £60 worth a couple of months ago*), as whenever we do DIY we seem to need odd screw sizes, and not only are the like of Homebase a PITA to find the right screws in, but more expensive and the screws tend to be better used as extra bendy nails (I swear Homebase screws seem to have a better than even chance of breaking, being bent in the pack, or bending when used).
*All stacked by size/type neatly in the garage (it's great being able to find the right screw in seconds)

Investing in screws is the way forward, all those people investing in gold are doing it wrong.

No more nails in it
Can imagine it's for his zombie apocalypse plan knowing Kwerk.
You've got a lot of windows there Kwerk, would suggest getting some metal shutters.

They look to have "dimples" (i.e. probably crosshead/Phillips screws) in the head of the objects which would be pretty unusual for a nail although I'll admit it's not a subject I'm any sort of expert on. I'm therefore assuming it is just a rubbish picture not properly showing the threads on the screws.
