I am trying to find a way to connect my gate to my brick house without the weight of it pulling the 4x4 out of the house

A few years ago, I built me a wooden gate (see pictures), and on one side, the gate was connected to a 4x4 that was connected to the side of my brick house. I used cement screws to drive ...»
in the mortar/cement between the bricks, but over time, the weight of the gate has pulled the screws out of the cement between the bricks. I have bought me a white German Shepherd pup, and now I need to get my gate back up so she won't get out of my back yard, but I've not found a good way to keep the screws in the cement. I know there are anchors to drive in, but I'm not sure what is the right type to get. I'm sure there is a correct way to mount a 4x4 to the side of a brick house. Any ideas would greatly be appreciated.

    Miles, that sounds like a smooth way of securing the 2x4 to the side of the house, but I'm not ...»
    sure I can go with that option, as I have the hooks to hold the gate up driven through the 4x4, and I don't think a 2x4 will be thick enough for the hooks. I like that idea though. I think I may redo my work, and drill my holes directly through the bricks and not the mortar, and hope that the bricks don't crack. I just ordered me 2 wheels from Northern Tools to mount to the bottom corner of each gate for support: Gate Wheel with Suspension - 210-Lb. Capacity, 8in. Pneumatic Tire, Model# CT-GW01.

DIY Projects: Advice Needed: To Build a Deck or Put In a Stone Patio?

My husband and I are thinking about doing a backyard facelift and are debating between building a deck or doing a flagstone patio. We live in Seattle so we do have quite a bit of rain. I ...»
know that may play a factor. We currently have a tiny concrete slab that we will probably need to remove. SO my question is, have you built either a deck or a stone patio? Pros/cons? Would you do it again? How hard was it? How long did it take you? Thank you in advanced!
