Can I anchor 2x4s into this basement closet concrete to finish the closet add shelves lighting etc?

This is an unfinished unpowered closet in our basement. It has concrete walls which none of the other closets do. And it has a concrete ceiling which none of the other rooms have. It doesn’t contain anything and it extends towards the inside of the house with concrete walls. 1st of all, why is this 1 spot different than the rest of the house? It’s not an addition, it fits the footprint of the house perfectly. 2nd can I safely anchor 2x4s, add lighting and shelving to this like any other concrete? I’m comfortable with that stuff but it’s the only unfinished spot so it got me wondering. submitted by /u/zamboni242 [link] [comments]
