    How to hang outdoor plaques to concrete wall
    I have two ceramic placques that I would like to hang on an outside wall made of concrete block. I don't want to glue them as I could not take them down, but if I use
    Screws or bolts to hang them on, they might blow off in a high wind. I live in Florida and we do get unexpected high winds at times. Any suggestions? They are about 14" by 20" an weigh about 5 lbs. each. Thanks for you info.

    Drill holes and put in a plug to accept a screw. But yes, if they are that light, then high winds may take them down.

    Hdavis disagrees with my listing of products. Not sure how this can ever be considered inaccurate but I am sure I will avoid trying to help davis again.

    Hey Bob

    U are not doing so good. Got smacked twice and both times u were good.

    Could it be the new layout is confusing the new people?

    I, personally, like the old layout better.

    What new layout are you speaking of. Everything looks the same to me.
    I think I have to disagree about the new people. Like Bob, I got a reddie and a complaint about a broken link on a two year old post. Some of the new people are just like some of the old people.

    I really think its just Bob's turn in the barrel.

    Personally, I like old people better.

    Sometimes I get a different start up page. It leaves a lot to be desired. Hard to describe but not as easy to use as this one. But then I am use to this one.

    They are developing a "new skin" what ever the heck that is. Some new folks see AMHD different than we do. The junk started hitting me around July 1st, take a peak at my rep, gone to crappers. Seems like the developers at AMHD are trying to fix 10 old problems by creating 20 new problems, kind of like the last 2 Governors of my state who are now about to serve time
