Q: How do you hang pictures? I know about hammering a nail in a wall and hanging a picture on it, but I am having real trouble with the larger pictures that have a bracket on each side.

A single 1 1/2-inch (4d) or 2-inch (6d) finishing nail will support most pictures, even when nailing between studs. The trick is to drive the nail into the wall at a steep angle, at least 45 degrees.
