The drywall is attached to these face-studs with screws. This stud sensor would probably work to find them.Tony Nolandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15090583562737225942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7797188666559531190.post-91166918393066431002013-04-22T21:32:46.803-04:002013-04-22T21:32:46.803-04:00Now this is an interesting theme for the A-Z.

And my brother makes the same joke... of course, he had to explain it to me (brothers never associate "stud" with each other).<br /><br />There was, way on back in my childhood, a low-tech version that was simply a gimbal-mounted magnet.
