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?

I would driil into the block and use lagshields and lags. If this is
not sutable for you you could use wall mollies. but in any case DRILL!
Drill slow with light pressure on the cinder block otherwise you hole
will become to big Good Luck Hope I helped
