To install expansion anchors on stucco walls, follow these steps: use flexible silicone caulk instead of rigid epoxy, use appropriately sized anchors for holes, pre-drill carefully at low speeds to prevent spider cracks, opt for plastic anchors for lightweight items, apply a protective sealer finish, check for new cracks periodically, and inject sealant as needed. Paint the stucco for a seamless finish. Installing expansion anchors on stucco is easy for most DIYers, requiring pre-drilling holes, correct sizing and placement of anchors, and using caulk and matched fasteners.

Avoid overtightening the screw, as this can cause stucco cracking or stress points. Stop turning the screw once it feels snug and secure.
For lighter items or fixtures without significant support, use plastic anchors in conjunction with screws. Choose plastic anchors designed for stucco applications and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for installation. Insert the anchor into the pilot hole, then insert the screw into the anchor, turning it clockwise until secure.

📹 25 DIY Outdoor Projects to Transform Your Patio and Yard!
In this video I present 25 easy and budget friendly projects to transform your patio, porch, or yard. These projects include a bird …
The bird house is my favorite. I took a old rake like yours that was painted red and made utensil holder for them. My utensils have harlequin decor on the handles and it came out great in my kitchen. I have to say your creative style and eye far exceeds mind. I just love seeing what you come up with next. You are becoming one of my most favorite people on u tube my friend. Hugs
I really like the repurposing of the rake end to use the spikes as hooks. Rakes are fairly common, and, as long as they’re made of sturdy metals, a lot of difforent rake designs would work for this hook idea. It also works for a ton of different uses in various rooms of the house, preventing clutter, instead of potentially becoming one more thing to clutter surfaces.
They are all such great ideas. I have used a rake head to hang aprons on in my kitchen. I have a shovel head laying around that just found its project, thanks to you!! The metal bracket with the rake is half of a hasp, the other half closes over this part and padlock goes through to lock a door. Thanks for the great ideas!!
I really enjoy your creativity. Never know what to expect. My only criticism is about the teapot birdhouse. The size of the entrance hole should be specific to the type of bird you want to attract. A big hole like that makes it easy for predatory birds or animals to eat the eggs or hatchlings. Maybe using the teapot as a bird feeder would be better.
My dad turned his dad’s car toolbox into our letterbox when I was a kid. It moved house with us. Then it moved to the next house. And the next house. When my dad died and mum moved, we inherited the letterbox. It’s still our letterbox! I am now sixty years old. And guess what? It’s red. (In desperate need of another paint though! )
Oh yeah one more thing. I love that bit of info about using Elmers glue to make a crackle paint look. What a nice little tidbit to know. Crackle paint is way more expensive than it should be. I actually bought one of those little small bottles of crackle paint & was not pleased with the result but I will try again with the Elmers glue version.
I absolutely love that little birdhouse. I saw another version of it on Pinterest and had it in my mind to make very soon. Your article has prompted me to get on the ball. Your version, I think, is a little more accomplishable for me as well as a little more the look I would be after as well. I enjoyed all of your projects but the little birdhouse from the old tea pot is my favorite. I knew there was a reason I keep all these little bits and Pieces of things around. Thanks for the inspiration and the nice article.
You’re a genius. I was sceptical from the first group of items, but my dear you pulled me in and now I’m hooked ill watch your channe.l so i can see what that 3normous brain can think of next! …..or maybe I could just show you a picture of the things I just have no idea what to do with,and you could tell me…?❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊
The platter turned out lovely. The I.O.D. Bird on a Wire transfer from the Broconte Collection looks wonderful with the agave color you chose. I have that transfer – and the same bird design on decoupage paper – and have been trying to decide what color background to use. I have seen it used on many different colors by many different YouTubers – and it looks stunning – no matter WHAT COLOR the background is, LOL❣️😉 Decisions, decisions, LOL‼️🙉🤣
Hey. Really enjoyed the project you shared. My only bit of feedback would be to please leave each if the finished projects on the screen a little longer. I love all of the things you’ve created and I am screenshotting them … they just moc off the screen too fast for me. Love the creativity … especially the broken rake and shovel 🎉. Thanks.
I like to buy lanterns for fall. But the glass often breaks during use & winter.. So i use the frame as a plant decor. Just take all glass out & get a pot that fits at the bottom on the inside of the lantern. I like to use a plant that “climbs”. I hang it up & let the plant grow downwards & you can also shape if if you want to.. Just get some spray paint primer to help the frame against rust.. (if it’s metal) You can use any size, just get a plant that fits the space.. Hang them up from a structure or from a hangers that you put in the ground.. it looks really nice!
Hi Mam, I went to church with my Dad today and then to lunch and I was telling him about your article the other day and how personable you are. He knows how I love junk but now being in a tiny home without a yard and not much storage I have had to pass by junk piles with a sad face. I already have 2 storage units full of all my stuff and also donated to s of my things in order to keep my mom’s. My mom passed away a year ago this month and I inherited pretty much her entire house as far as furniture goes. I had 2 large yard sales and sold most of everything that was not sentimental to her or I. I kept her dishes and carnival glass etc. I hope to buy a house in the next 2 years and I sure do hope it has a shed or at least a porch. Under my mom’s porch was all her gardening tools. I kept an old shovel with a blue metal handle and shovel, the wood is starting to get bad but, I am going to clean it up and save it to display. I can kick myself now because I found a metal rake head without the wood handle. I actually stood in the back yard with swewt running down my face, mosquitos biting me and thought, “could I sane this down and attach it to wood and put my mops to hang from it and my mini plant shovel etc etc”. By the time I cleaned out from under the porch I was so tired of packing and sorting and many trips to purple heart, church donation drives with clothes etc I decided to throw it in the recycling can. 3 things I parted with and 2 I have been so upset about after the fact and had guilt trips worried that my mom would be sad I let them go.
Hi Deidre! Your “Home Tweet Home” bird 🐦 house is cute for indoor decor, but I am sorry to say, no songbird outside will use it for nesting. Not trying to be mean or critical here; only informational. Birds are very particular about the size of the openings in birdhouses in which they build their nests. They have to be very small – a lot smaller than the opening of the teapot. 🫖 Why? You may be asking…it’s because of predators. Birds of prey, snakes, squirrels, oppossums and raccoons (to name just a few) can easily reach inside and eat the eggs and/or baby birds 🐥 so no Mama bird is going to risk that…if you research online, there is a wealth of information about what size holes for the birds you are trying to attract need for their birdhouses. 😊 Simply trying to save you (or a Buyer) some unnecessary heartache. 💔🥺😞
