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?

I've used something like this: http://urlbee.com?11363 to hang
christmas wreathes outside.
It fits inbetween the bricks, on the mortor joint. there is a toothed
edge to hold onto the brick, and a spring that keeps it in place when
you remove the weighted object.
Just works for me, so no clue if it will work for you. I think I got
mine at Home Depot, or Lowes.
Good luck,

As someone else noted, I've got plaster over the bricks, so I'm not sure
how I'd find the right places for them. Thanks for the suggestion, though.
