There are many different types of picture hooks. The type of picture hook you want depends on several different factors. Firstly and most importantly, you need to know what type of wall you have. There are four main types of walls that people deal with on a regular basis. Drywall (also known by its most common brand name Sheet Rock), Plaster, Concrete (or cement), and Brick. There are two different categories of hooks. There are ones for use in Drywall and Plaster or ones for use in Concrete and Brick. Picture hooks are also designed to hold certain weights which are designated on their packaging. The most common picture hooks used in Drywall and Plaster are steel with regular common nails, brass hooks with smaller black hardened steel nails, hook and loop (Velcro) self adhesive picture hooks, push through hooks, and anchored hooks among others.

• The common steel hooks with common nails must be mounted to wood studs or wood lathing behind the wall. So it limits the potential places that you can place your frame. Wood studs are only every 16" on the center of them. Although this is the most inexpensive choice a stud finder is needed to find where the studs are behind the wall.
• The brass hooks with smaller black hardened steel nails often referred to as ook hooks are able to be mounted anywhere on the surface of the wall that you want to put them. The reason being for this is that the hook has more surface area gripping the wall thus using more of the wall for strength. Also, in the heavier pound rated hooks the weight is spread across more than one nail sometimes of a thicker gauge.
• The hook and loop (Velcro) self-adhesive picture hangers are definitely the easiest ones to use but they can only hold a maximum of 10 pounds. Bathrooms and high traffic areas are also probably not the most ideal place for these hooks because of the moisture in the bathroom and possibility of being knocked into in the higher traffic areas.
• Push through hooks are also pretty easy to use and can hold as much weight as the nail in picture hooks. These look almost like a section of a lightning bolt. The reason that it works is that one side of the hook is resting on the wall while the other is being pressed into the back of the wall on this inside with equal pressure. The only downside that I see with these hooks is that they often stick out from the wall farther than regular hooks.
• There are two types of picture hanging systems that you can use anchors with. There are the ones which are just a hook where you can stick a screw into and then there are also those that have wide mounting plate which has a level built in so that you can get a perfect level for your frame. The simple one is often only for lighter weight pictures. The ones that allow multiple points of anchoring are very secure and the flushest way to mount your picture to the wall. It is also the most secure method as well. It is versatile enough to use on any wall surface. The only downside is the amount of work it takes to mount it.

The most common hooks for concrete and brick usage are nail in hooks with a cushion on the nail for when you hammer it in, brass plated nails with hooks, and small pin hooks. These hooks all have hardened nails used specifically for cement surfaces.

• The steel nail in hooks with the cushion are very handy in that there is less impact on the wrist when driving the nail in.
• The brass plated hooks are more decorative and also spread the weight across a couple of nails in the higher weight versions.
• The smaller pin hooks also spread the weight over multiple nails but this is only for lightweight frames

When installing the frames into the concrete walls it is fine to put the hook anywhere that you would like. When installing the hooks into a brick wall make sure to install the hooks into the mortar between the bricks otherwise you may split the brick.

Declutter Your Space By Adding Shelving

One of the simplest methods to contribute more storage space to any room is with extra shelving. Wall shelving can be used to declutter the home and store anything from containers to books, and they are likewise ideal for exhibiting collectible items. No matter the use, wall shelving really is very easy to install, and no matter your skill level when it comes to home improvements, you can install metal wall supports and shelving without assistance. Vertical areas in your home can be utilized for storage or a spot to show off your items.

Locate the wall studs. If you want to have secure and safe wall shelving, it is important to locate at least one wall stud. Use a basic magnetic stud locator or an electronic stud locator to locate the wall studs prior to starting to add shelving. You do not have to spend a fortune when purchasing a stud locator because even the most inexpensive options are proficient enough to do the job.

Installing and leveling standards. The metal bars that support the shelving brackets are called standards. They are very simple to hang and level upright. Upon locating a wall stud, use an appropriately sized decking screw or drywall screw to secure the first standard to the wall; be cautious not to screw it in all the way. This will allow for adjustments to be made. Also, the screw should be at least one inch in length so it will adequately hold the weight of the shelving and any displayed items. Keep in mind that shelving over thirty-six inches in length or a unit that will hold more than two shelves should be outfitted with more than two standards. To guard against the shelving sagging, be sure to use at least three standards.

Once the first standard has been placed, utilize a level to determine the correct vertical positioning, and then sink a screw into the next hole. Securely attach screws to the wall in the rest of the holes, and do the same with the next standard after determining the distance it should be positioned from the first one. You will additionally have to make sure the standards are placed at the same height so the shelves will be level, and this is easily achieved by utilized a long carpenter's level or laser level. Utilize a carpenter's pencil to mark the proper locations.

Wall anchors are essential when the second standard will not be situated over a wall stud. Toggle bolts are the best types of wall anchors to utilize for this purpose. The wings are movable, and after the bolt and attachment are placed through the wall, the wings automatically open and hold the heavy item in place. Wall anchors made from plastic can also be used, but make sure they have the ability of securely supporting the weight of shelves and items that are to be displayed. Utilize the same technique of adding center standards, if necessary, but make sure that the toggle bolts fit through the holes if they are to be used.

Hanging brackets. The next step after the standards are in place you can then install the brackets that support the shelving. If the brackets are not long enough to accommodate the shelves, they can still be used. Simply the areas of the tips of the brackets against the shelving boards' bottoms, and utilize a saw to make notches to accommodate the tips. Pay close attention to the load rating of the brackets before using them to support heavier items.

Place shelving on the brackets. Placing the shelving on the brackets. Expensive prefabricated finished or laminate wood shelves is not necessary. Inexpensive wooden planks purchased at your community home improvement outlet can be used instead. They can be cut to specifications before purchase, and they can be painted and decorated to coordinate with any color or style of room decor.

ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATFUL!

Reducing Vehicle Weight in an Unexpected Way
Whether for ground vehicles, planes, or satellites, lighter is better-and often required-not only for fuel efficiency but also for tactical mobility. No matter what the vehicle, every extra ounce of weight requires more fuel-which is costly, adds more weight, and may be difficult to supply in remote locations. Excess weight can even threaten a vehicle's viability, whether for tactical objectives ...
