Q: What kind of drill bit do I need for brick?

• <div><p>Drilling into brick or mortar requires the use of a masonry drill bit. Masonry drill bits appear similar to standard drill bits except for the leading tip of the bit. The tip has a bulky carbide arrow-shaped end slightly larger than the rest of the bit shaft. Standard or high-speed drill bits designed for making holes in wood or metal don&rsquo;t have the ruggedness or design shape you need to drill into brick. They may not go through the brick at all, and if they do, they&rsquo;re more likely to overheat, crack, or dull before you finish drilling.</p></div>

Q: Is a fireplace the same as a firepit or outdoor oven?

• <div><p>A fireplace is, by definition, an enclosed space where you burn wood or other fuel for the purpose of generating light and heat. A firepit burns wood and is much less expensive to build, but they aren&rsquo;t technically a fireplace as it isn&rsquo;t enclosed. An outdoor oven&mdash;commonly <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-build-outdoor-pizza-oven.htm">outdoor brick pizza ovens</a>&mdash;often uses wood as fuel, but its primary purpose is to cook food, and you&rsquo;d rarely just burn wood inside them for warmth or aesthetic reasons. </p></div>

Q: How do you hang lights on brick without drilling?

• <div><p>You can hang holiday lights on brick without drilling by using hot glue, outdoor tape, or brick clips for your project. There are plenty of alternatives to consider, so consult a professional Christmas light installer to discuss the best options to preserve your brick exterior.</p></div>

Q: How do you crack a rock with water?

• <div><p>It is possible, albeit a lot slower, to break up a rock using water. You would do this by freezing and thawing the water. You could create some initial holes or cracks in the rock, then pour water into the cracks or holes and allow them to freeze (so it's best to do this in winter or in colder climates). Since water expands when it freezes, this puts pressure on the inside of the rock and causes it to crack. You could continue to pour more water in and let it freeze to continue to break up the rock.</p></div>

Q: Should I use mortar or concrete for a chimney crown?

• <div><p>You should use cement for a chimney crown. The purpose of the chimney crown is to protect the mortar below from water damage and the effects of weather. For this reason, chimney crowns should only be made using cement. When repairing a crown, use caulks and sealants designed for cement repair rather than mortar repair.</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...
