Answer

Brief Explanations:

For the first question, hot - dipped galvanized nails are a good choice for deck fasteners as they offer good corrosion resistance. Roofing nails are for roofing, drywall screws for drywall, 8 - penny finishing nails are more for finish work, and electroplate galvanized nails may not have as good corrosion protection as hot - dipped ones. For the second question, rot is most likely to occur on the underside of the floorboards as this area can trap moisture and is less likely to dry out compared to other areas. Foot traffic doesn't directly cause rot, lack of roof doesn't necessarily mean rot will occur immediately, near steps and at horizontal joints with end grain are not the most common areas for rot compared to the underside.

Answer:

  1. hot - dipped galvanized nails
  2. on the underside of the floorboards
