    I stuffed the weep holes with some
    Steel wool.. is that ok?

      Thanks for watching, haven’t tried that before. We can’t confidently determine whether or not it will still allow water to flow out in an efficient way however if we had to guess, it’s probably ok…🤔
      Keep us posted.

    i never knew of these . do all brick homes have these hole things.

      No, mine didn’t. The house was built in 1965. I had to drill out mortar between bricks to insert weep holes. The newer houses are more likely to have weep holes, due to code requirements and more understanding of the dangers of mold building up inside damp walls.

      @@joedevitto6113 : I also had a house for awhile that had small holes in it that looked like drill holes. I was thinking I should caulk them, to keep bugs out, until I noticed while I was sitting in a drive-thru line that commercial buildings had the same thing. So now I’m thinking that they were put there intentionally as weep holes.

    Can this cover really stop scorpions to enter through weep holes??

      Thanks for watching, a full grown scorpion will have a very interesting time getting through.
      But there are many sizes of scorpions.

      Thanks for the reply, how big are scorpion’s? If larger than…say a golf ball…it will be impossible for them to sneak through screens.

    What’s a weep holes purpose?

    • @leeb.7188
      @leeb.7188 2 года назад +1

      Brick is porous. The weep hole allows any moisture that has built up in the wall to weep out, so you don’t get mold in your walls.
