Our outer walls are essentially plaster over slump block/brick. Can anyone
suggest a simple and reliable way to hang pictures? At the local hardware
store, the clerk recommended a small diameter masonry drill and masonry
screws -- they'll work, I'm sure, but it seems a bit radical.

Any alternate suggestions?


The hardware guy's recommendation is the best idea you'll find. If it's a
pretty hefty picture, you should use more than one screw.
