My shutters were all installed the same way as yours. However, most came off and had to be replaced. This time, after drilling out the holes, I secured the fasteners with clear silicone caulk in the hole and then tapped in the fasteners. No problem since then.
Great advice on not having to use concrete anchors. This looks like it will be a much easier job what I had imagined also appreciated the advice to go into brick, and not the mortar, especially since they had recommended going into the mortor and not the brick.
I've had to put my shutters back up several times over the years because of those stupid plugs. You DO need screws and anchors. Apparently you don't get wind or storms where you are at.
Correct. You need screws and anchors. If there is any wind, they will eventually fall off. I replaced all of mine one time with the anchor setup and it’s lasted over 20 years.
💥 Informative and entertaining thank you. Is 1/4 inch the masonry bit size that is needed to drill into the brick for the plastic spikes that come with the shutters?
Hey! I'm in GA. Will you come do mine? 🙏🙂 There's already holes from the old shutters. I thought it might be doable but not so sure I can trust myself to do it right. Lol Thanks for the laughs 😃 Sidenote: When I was in HighSchool, Mom asked me "Don't you know any guys to date that doesn't drive a TRUCK!?!" I said " Nope!" 😂😂
Do you absolutely have to have a hammer drill? I would love to do this job myself because my landlord doesn't maintain the property I live in. They're personal friends so if I purchase the shutters, they'll just take it off my rent. But I'd love to do the job alone. I just have a regular run-of-the-mill every day drill.
As I watch this video for learning purposes, I start to realize this is just a waste of time. These shutters serve no purpose, only aesthetic. Kind of pointless
It's not going to hurt the drop cord doing this. And it's the best way to connect the two cords. Thell keep coming unplugged if your actually working and moving around. Not being rude but sounds like you've never had to use a drop cord
I've been doing it that way for 40 years. Still waiting for that first cord to be damaged. I have replaced a few cords for various reasons, so not all the same cords that whole time. But I do know the one I use most often is the same one I've had for almost 30 years.
This is the worst way to install vinyl shutters. The PVC pins break from the suns UV. Very poor design. This will become a high matintenace issue over the years of home ownership.👎🏻
Thanks so much! Had 65 mph winds here last night in Ky and it blew my shutter off. Now I’m ready to leap into action. 😉 Appreciate it! 💪🏼

A wonderful DIY video! succinct and easy to follow. Save me A LOT of guesswork! the host is fun to watch.
Your fantastic shutter jokes got me hooked, you have a new subscriber! Thanks for the laughs and the help on my shutter project.
Thanks for the video, I now know how to put on shutters, and I also increased the volume of my truck.
One man job. Thanks for the video
Best Video on YouTUBE!! Dude, you are funny!! Thanks so much!!!
Dude! You’re funny!
Thanks for the helpful video! 🙌
"I shutter to think what that will cost.. (pause) "🤣🤣 thanks for the info!
Lol, you're welcome!
Thank you! This really helps.
Loved the video, I shudder to think of the mess I would have made in my own.
Thanks for the video.

love it! I'm in Georgia too
The commentary I love it
Very good video

Most definitely you are correct. I don't think he's hung very many

@@Cajun-it3yf how do you finish off the screw head on the shutter?
Good job on the video. Love the comedy parts too. Hahaha. And you helped me put up my dad’s shutters.
Glad to help Gavin!

Great video😂❤
Bravo!

Great and easy instructions. Funny too.
You’re funny! hahahaha

Yes you can use a regular drill. It may take a little longer to get through the mortar but it is doable
I’ve never heard of anyone drilling into the brick, only mortar joints 🧐 🤔
🤣🤣🤣
I can't even hear you. Where areyou? The autobahn??

You're right. If you think about it, the majority of houses are decorations. And we stick a big decoration, a lawn, in front of it.
Tying your cords into a tight knot like that causes damage to the wires inside.

Before you call them “shutters,” ask yourself whether they can be used to “shut” the windows. These are not shutters, just imitations thereof.
You'Vve knocked the bottom left fastner in too far and dimpled the shutter !
