Hi, the interior walls of my house are concrete block(no plaster or drywall) what is the easiest way to put up a shelf. I have tried drilling holes( very difficult) Is there a certain drill for this to make it easier? Plus, I can't get the screws to stay in as they don't want to screw into the concrete. Help!
thanks
What kind of drill you need depends on the kind of concrete block you fixing to.If in doubt and the concrete resists normal drilling. get an SDS type drill, it will pretty much drill through any kind of masonary very quickly. See here for an explanation. http://www.diyfaq.org.uk/powertools/sds.htm and here for a picture of the drillbit http://images.usoutdoorstore.com/usoutdoorstore/products/full/fix_sds_drillbit_2.jpg
Then just use normal wall plugs and srews (see pic: http://www.tool-catalogue.co.uk/images/69041_HW11.jpg) to fix the hangers to the wall.
