See, I didn't even know there were different type screws for different things like that! <br /> <br />Beaded Tail: That's too bad you don't have a place for it. Some of our neighbors actually have flag poles in their front yard!<br /><br />Rebecca: Gerard's dad never bothered teaching him handywork, just gardening. His brother doesn't know how to do that kind of thing either. I wish I had taken the time to learn more of this type thing from my dad, but since I was a girl, he really never bothered trying to teach me stuff like that. A lot of it is a matter of having the right tools. We have a set of screwdrivers, a hammer, some nails, pliers, a level and duct tape for our tool collection. The neighbor is the dad of the son in the service. The dad is the one who hung our flag holder for us. <br /> <br />Marg: I like seeing them too. Some of our streets put them up all along the street and it really looks nice!Karen, author of "My Funny Dad, Harry"http://karenzemek.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4556878706697309931.post-39429339661109753292011-06-14T13:40:00.937-04:002011-06-14T13:40:00.937-04:00That is great that you have a flag up.

Who knows, the home improvement bug just might kick in. ;) It did for me!<br /><br />It is so wonderful that the neighbor's son put up your flag!!Rebecca Mecomberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11203011427886042637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4556878706697309931.post-33186703873299739912011-06-14T10:24:49.486-04:002011-06-14T10:24:49.486-04:00That was nice of your neighbor to help you with th...That was nice of your neighbor to help you with the holder for your flag! We don't have a flag up mainly because there's no where to put it. Our neighbor across the street puts up a flag on special days like today and it's always nice to see.BeadedTailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662802836032167316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4556878706697309931.post-46838103995611614502011-06-14T08:28:20.712-04:002011-06-14T08:28:20.712-04:00Well, that was certainly very nice of your neighbo...Well, that was certainly very nice of your neighbor to do that! It's good to have help.<br /><br />Putting in a few screws like that is really easy, Karen. You just need a good hardware store guy to help you get the right kind of bit for a drill and the right kind of screws. There are different screws for wood, metal, brick, etc. It is definitely something you and Gerard can learn to do. Maybe it's time for a drill purchase!Linhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07042143254001890567noreply@blogger.com
