This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I thought maybe I had accidentally put the screw in there myself but my only other box of this color I bought is 3-1/2"

I know how frustrating this is as it's happend to me too. But at least it wasn't a 1 5/8" mixed in a box of 1 1/4". I've seen that too. In the worst way possible way.

I've had one screw too long when attaching hinges and ran it through the side of a box I had just finished, was very disappointed.

Yup. Cabinet installation here. Blew right through one into the other. Wouldn't have been so bad but the one had glass doors.
