The second problem was that the nail was held so tightly to the mortar that I ended up pulling out chunks of mortar with the nail. I do wonder if this was partially because it was so hot out (100 F) while I was doing this.


I doubt it. While a fast (and secure) mechanism to fasten the wood, I suspect anything fastened in this manner is going to be 1) difficult to remove and 2) damage any cement/mortar upon removal.
