Can I attach shutters to brick without drilling?

• <div><p>No, it’s not recommended to attach shutters to brick without drilling. Brick is dense and built to last, so adhesives and shortcut methods don’t usually cut it. Even heavy-duty glue struggles to hold up over time—especially against wind, moisture, and temperature changes. Most <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-attach-shutters-to-vinyl-siding.htm">no-drill options are made for materials like vinyl</a> or wood, not solid masonry. Skipping the drill might seem easier, but it puts your shutters—and anything below them—at risk. For a secure, lasting install, drilling is the way to go. It takes more effort up front, but the result is safer and more reliable. </p></div>

Q: Can you repoint over old mortar?

• <div><p>You will repoint over a fraction of the old mortar, but you should scrape away 1/2 to 1 inch of mortar from the joints before repointing. Otherwise, the repointing is only masking the weakened mortar instead of actually replacing it, which could put your chimney at risk of bigger, more expensive damages later on.</p></div>

Q: How many bricks do you need to build an outdoor pizza oven?

• <div><p>The size of your pizza oven will determine the number of bricks necessary to build it. So the bigger your pizza oven, the more fire bricks you&rsquo;ll need to purchase. Keep in mind that fire bricks cost about <b>$3</b> <b>each</b>. </p></div>

Q: Is it a good idea to paint a brick house?

• <div><p>In most cases, painting your brick house is a fine idea that can open up new aesthetic possibilities. However, the paint can slightly shorten the life span of brick, especially if moisture gets trapped underneath the paint layer. Once you paint, you&rsquo;ll have to keep up with maintenance to avoid flaking and blisters.</p></div>

Q: What are different types of masonry?

• <div><p>Two types of masonry are veneer masonry and solid masonry. Veneer masonry is thin brick or stone material attached to the face of a building. With veneer masonry, the walls support the weight of the masonry products rather than the masonry being built on a concrete footing. Solid masonry is a wall or other brick or stone structure built on a concrete footing, and the masonry supports itself.</p></div>

We were promptly greeted when we arrived. We advised that we wanted pedicures. They asked us to give them about 5-10 minutes to get the stations set up and while we waited to pick the colors we wanted. We were seated in the massage chairs and got to soak our feet. The gentlemen we had working on...
