can I clip the roofing nails coming through to my attic?
hey y’all. i’m moving into a new house + was hoping to turn the attic into a home office. when i looked around up there, i saw all the nails coming through from the roof into the attic. I was reading that you can clip these nails, is that true? will it not affect the roofing? i wanted to paint the walls completely white to brighten the room up, but with the nails coming through i don’t think i can!

How long are the nails? If they are only a half-inch or so there's no point (). Simply apply a layer of styrofoam insulation or even corrugated cardboard to cover them.
There is a slight danger in cutting them that you could cause a few to dislodge, leading to leaks.c
