Masonry bit and drywall screws

Instead of using costly Tapcons or lead masonry anchors, use drywall screws with a masonry bit for any jobs where brick or masonry is involved. To hang a flagpole holder on a brick wall, to fasten a laundry tub to a cement floor, even to protect window openings during hurricane warnings with plywood panels to a masonry house exterior. For this application put the washers under the screw heads so the screws don't pull through the plywood. When removing the plywood save the screws and washers and they will thread back into the same holes the next time they're needed. ). BRineh1359
