I am trying to insulate my basement walls. They are cinderblock and I

no leaking or moisture issues. My question is can I drill into the
cinderblock
to hang the framing wood so I can hang drywall or will this cause problems
drilling to cinderblocks. I am using insulation foam then 1x4 over the foam
boards so I can then attach the drywall to the board. What screws/nails
do I
use?


Over 40 years since I did mine but did not connect to blocks following
directions of contractor friend. I put up a layer of polyethylene
sheeting first as moisture barrier then studs just connected to ceiling.
I put in fiber glass insulation and covered the walls with pegboard
for hanging tools since I was not completely finishing the basement but
just wanted to use it as a work area. I had painted the pegboard white
and concrete floor blue. It's held up fine after this long period.
