SWMBO got a painted piece of slate with our last name, etc. that

Problem is that it is very windy where we live, with gusts to 30mph+
very common. * I need some way of securing it to the facade other than
just the leather strap hanging from a nail or it is going to rattle to

Double-sided carpet laying tape will hold pretty well if it does not
get wet. Use the hanger and then add the tape so it doesn't take any
weight, just holds it to the building. You might have to use a piee
of foam rubber,fastening the tape to the bulding stone, then the foam,
and then another layer of tape to the housename if the stone is a very
rough surface compared to the back of the slate..
