I live in a very old house (1920). It is solid brick construction but there is no insulation. Instead, inside the outer brick walls is a layer of something like a tubular block. I've attached a photo. I want to attach studs above grade level in my basement shop and the question is how to attach studs to the wall, essentially to the tubular block product. I plan on using and adhesive but think they should also be attached with some sort of fastener. The studs will only be 4' high, laid flat and will have plywood attached. Ideas will be appreciated.
