These snap over the brick without the use of nails. However, the brick and clamp must be a very similar height to make a good fit. This may not work well if the recess above the brick leaves less than 1/8 inch (3.18 mm) depth of the brick's upper surface exposed, or if it forms a curved surface due to a concave masonry joint. As long as the masonry is not too old and soft, you can replace nails with screws for more secure anchoring: Choose screws at least twice as long as the thickness of the lumber you are attaching. Select a masonry drill bit with a diameter equal to the screw's shaft's, not including the threads. Drill through the lumber and into the masonry. Insert and tighten the screw until firm. Avoid over-tightening. There are many epoxies, mastics, and contact cements that can bond to brick. Check the manufacturer's instructions before buying to find a product that works with the material you plan to attach, and that can withstand the expected temperature, weight, and weather exposure. This approach may work well for light loads on soft brick surfaces, which are difficult to drill or nail without crumbling. This tool drives hardened steel pins into the masonry using a gunpowder charge. It is rarely used for home projects, since lack of training or the wrong model could lead to shattered brick or injury. If you have some construction experience and have a large project to complete, this could save you a lot of time. Do not use a powder-actuated tool on hollow brick.

summary: Hang pictures from hole-free brick clamps. Install masonry screws. Use an adhesive substance. Complete professional jobs with a powder-actuated tool.

Search online for "exotic animal vet" and your location. It's wise to find an experienced exotic vet before you bring home your snake. That way, you can schedule an appointment as quickly as possible if it gets sick. While many snake owners don't bring their pets to the vet regularly, check-ups every 6 to 12 months are recommended for reptiles. At a minimum, you should get your snake an initial check-up soon after you bring it home. Make sure your snake appears alert and flicks its tongue in and out regularly. Check for any marks or discharges on its skin, eyes, and mouth, and try to listen to its breathing to make sure it's not wheezing. Each day, change and wash the water bowl and remove any droppings or soiled bedding. Try to clean up soiled spots promptly, as leaving droppings in the tank increases the risk of your snake getting sick. Be sure to wash your hands with soap and hot water for at least 20 seconds after handling your snake or cleaning its enclosure. Keep your snake in a second back-up tank while you clean the main enclosure. Throw out all of the old bedding, and wash the tank and hiding spots with a reptile-safe disinfectant. Rinse away the disinfectant with hot water, then add fresh bedding and put the enclosure back together. You can find reptile-safe disinfectants online and at pet stores. Avoid washing the enclosure in the kitchen sink or near any areas where you prepare food. When your snake sheds, its old skin should come off in one long, tube-shaped piece. Make sure that the eye caps have shed; take your pet to the vet if they haven't so they can be properly removed. To promote healthy shedding, keep coarse branches in the tank and make sure the humidity stays between 40% and 60%. Shedding is an important indicator of your pet's health. Young milk snakes can shed 12 or more times a year, and adults typically shed every 2 to 3 months. The shedding process takes 1 to 2 weeks. Take your snake to the vet if it has difficulty shedding or hasn't finished shedding within 2 weeks.

summary: Find a local exotic animal vet with experience treating snakes. Check your snake for signs of illness every day. Spot clean the enclosure daily. Disinfect the tank once a month. Keep track of your snake's shedding.

If you plan on tarping your roof without a professional, you should bring some friends and family to help. Laying out a tarp can be dangerous, so it's important that you have an extra pair of hands to help with the more menial work. If you are certain you want to do it by yourself, make sure there's someone in the house that can help you if there's an emergency. If possible, wait to do this on a dry day. Bring a brush with you onto the roof. Remove all branches, leaves, and debris so that the roof is completely clear. Make sure you brush off all the leaves so that no insect life is trapped under the tarp later. If some of the branches are particularly heavy, you may need some help lifting them off your roof. Tarps can be unwieldy, especially on a windy day. Bring the tarp out of its packaging. It can either come folded, or as a roll. Either way, find a corner of the tarp. Once you have a firm grasp on it, have a helper grab an opposite end. As you move away from each other the tarp will naturally unroll. Lay the tarp across the roof so that at least 4 feet (1.2m) lies on the sloped part of your roof on each side (known as the 'Peak'). Let the rest of the tarp hang off the lower border of the roof that overhangs the wall (known as the 'Eave'). Never lay the tarp out during a storm. Never walk on the tarp.
summary: Get some friends or family to help you. Clear all debris on the roof. Unroll the tarp from the corners. Lay the tarp out flat over the roof.
