    attaching sign to brickwall
    Hello Everyone.
    I need some good advise on how to hang a sign on a brick wall. The sign weights between 30-40 lbs and is 2ft x 8ft. This sign is painted on 1/4 inch plywood, which is attached to 2x4's. Thanks for you help.

    Drill for lead shields in mortar joint.

    To start, drill pilot holes in sign through 2x4. Make sure all holes are the same distance from top edge. Transfer measurements to mortar joint. Increase size of pilot hole to accept lags bolts for lead shields.

    Hope this helps.
