I have a question

i want to hang a shelf to hold my detergent, fab softner, etc above my
washer dryer combo in the basement of my house.

THe walls are made of cynder blocks. Is it smart to drill into them in
order to put in anchors so i can hang a shelf....or would i be better
off doing something else. I dont want to crack the block or anything.

Any opinions?


You can buy anchors for the block and it will do the job.

Another suggestion is to frame the wall with 2 x 4s, add insulation,
drywall, paint, then hand the shelves on the studs. Looks better, and if
your are in a cold climate, save heating costs.

An even better idea, buy a couple of cabinets instead of shelves and have a
nice laundry room. The budget just went from $25 to $250, but it sure will
look nice.
