my main project will be putting some shelves up....the
garage is completely drywall..so Im curious how to attach the wooden
2x4's to the drywall so the shevles will be secure and
steady
It's not clear what style of shelving you have in mind, but
if your intent is to run the 2x4s horizontally, then 1/4 x 3
1/2" lag bolts and washers will hold them to the studs
nicely. Pre drill the shelving wood to 5/16 and pilot drill
the studs to 3/32. Run the lags in with a drill, snug with
a socket wrench.
Do Not, by the way, attach your shelving to just the sheet
rock.

The truth as I perceive it to be.
Your perception may be different.
