Q: Can I screw directly into stucco?

• <div><p>Yes, you can screw directly into stucco. Only do so if the item you are installing is a permanent fixture. Drill a pilot hole into the stucco using a masonry or concrete bit, then drive in the screw with a power drill or screwdriver.</p></div>

Q: How long should stucco dry before it rains?

• <div><p>You should aim to let stucco dry for at least 48 hours before it rains.

Q: How long does German schmear last?

• <div><p>German schmear is a durable brick masonry coating. It should last at least a decade or two without flaking or fading, even with minimal maintenance. This makes it an economical option compared to the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cost-paint-house-exterior.htm">cost of painting your house exterior</a>, which usually needs to be repainted every five to 10 years to keep it looking its best&mdash;thus costing more over the same time period.</p></div>

Q: Is it cheaper to build a pizza oven?

• <div><p>Whether or not it&rsquo;s cheaper to build a pizza oven depends largely on what style you opt for and which tools and materials you already have. For example, having a surplus of leftover fire bricks from another DIY project will reduce the amount you need to build a new pizza oven and cut costs to boot. On the flip side, if you don&rsquo;t have any of the required materials, buying a pre-made option will be cheaper and require far less work to set up&mdash;between just <b>$300 and $1,000</b> for the best versions.</p></div>
