Are they causing you an issue, or do you just find them unsightly?BellA said:Mistral001 said:Those grey round plastic things that look like the heads of roofing nails can be be nothing else but plastic plugs to cover up holes drilled in the wall at injection points in my view.Is there an external wall joining the wall at right angles to the wall with the injection plugs such as at a porch? In other words at the line of the plugs or close to the line of the plugs does the wall change from having an external face and an internal face to having two external faces.Those plugs there are at the side of our house next to our door, they also go up the wall at the other side of the door and up the wall on the corner of the other side (front of house) as well as along the bottom of the side of the house, 3 bricks up from the bottom.0 -
