I'm currently in the process of remodeling our basement. It's a finished
basement but with paneling and older moldings all around. The wife and I
just painted over the paneling and installed new molding which is coming out
quite nice. One thing I've discovered while doing this project is the method
the previous owner used to put up the walls. There are furring strips, with
foam insulated boards, then drywall and paneling on top of that. Some places
on the wall lead me to believe everything is glued and not drilled in. I am
assuming the furring strips are glued to the wall, but cannot accurately
conclude without tearing it up and that's not going to happen right now. The
wife wants some shelves on this wall and I do not feel safe about fastening
them to the paneling/drywall only. Therefore, I was thinking of drilling
into the concrete wall behind, then using Tapcon screws to put the shelves
up. The brackets for the shelves have many holes (8 per shelf x 3 shelves).
Will there be any consequences of drilling many holes into the concrete? I
feel uneasy about doing that also, but I'd thought I'd ask first.

Thank you for the help.

Don't worry about it - you don't need to go that far into the foundation
and the number of holes is trivial...

Of course Rodger is full of it, 8 holes per shelf says it all, but
with a Roger you will be sued for everything even non existant Radon
