Installing shelving on a brick wall
A lady friend has asked me to install some shelving for her on a brick wall.
The shelving is the slotted vertical peices about 1800mm high that the shelves clip in to which she got from bunnings.
I have an 18v cordless hammer drill, and a keyed chuck 240v hammer drill - both Makita.
My concern is that the uprights have to be dead level and straight or the shelves won't clip in - it has to be mm perfect.
I'm an ex man arts teacher, I've drilled brick & concrete before but I've never had to be as accurate as I'm going to need to be on this job.
Would I be better off screwing timber to the walls (bunnings sell non structural 35x70x2400 for $3.50 a length) and screwing the shelving to that?
Has anyone got any hints on how I can drill in to brick/concrete dead accurate - I'd just be putting plugs in the wall to screw in to and I'd be aiming to get them in to the joints where the solid concrete is.
This lady has been a good friend to me, so I'd like to do this for her if I can - but that said, I'd rather not do it than try to and make a stuff up of it.
Cheers
