I thought you guys might get a chuckle out of this picture.
When I tried to unscrew this aluminum threshold, the screw turned and wobbled but went nowhere. When I removed the other screws and pulled up the threshold I found out why.
Now the question is how did he do it?

With a hammer.

It's Never Too Late To Become What You Might Have Been
Hey, I had a 16d common do that in a 4x4 p.t. post yesterday - swear there was steel in the middle of that thing! Your sill must have come from the same tree.
Probably brass screws and reversered the sill and mis aligned the holes.
Kirk, you're close. He actually drilled only two holes in the concrete slab but the threshold had three screw holes. Mybe Eric is right that the guy tried to drive it in with a hammer instead of removing the piece and drilling the last hole in the floor.
Actually, he put the screw in the threshold first. Then he carefully bent the screw in a jig. Then placed the screw in a live split tree sappling, waited 8 years for it to grow and then milled the wood into a plank to be placed in your door threshold framing.
LOL! Best answer yet.BruceT
He put 3 screws into an N88 RH nailer and installed that way.
Dont ask how I know that will bend screws that miss a hole <G>
How silly of me. I've been driving screws with a drill/driver all these years instead of with a pneumatic framing nailer!BruceT
Yep, found by experience that if you hand load Piffin screws one at a time into an N88 RH they will drive just fine.
1-1/4 all the way into DFir, 2-1/2" decking screws only go in 1-1/2 inch, but makes a great quick starter.
Gotta try everything at least once.; however, will not wait on Bostitch to make collated dw screw for their nailer though.
damn... yur right....
it works..
