Pet Peeve Of The Week:
Stud finders. I have never, ever been able to find a stud with either the cheap magnet-on-a-rocker type or the expensive type that looks like a handheld video game from the 80's. I think they are all voodoo crap. I would have been better served walking along the wall with a forked branch.

My husband likes to run those along the wall and then, when he gets nothing, he runs it along his chest and makes ever-increasing beeping noises.
ReplyDeleteHe thinks he's hilarious.
LOL, yep just 'another' brand of snake oil! :-)
ReplyDeleteI've kinda sorta had some success with 'em. Partly. Sometimes. Of course, thumping on the wall doesn't use batteries and seems to work about as well as the electronic doodads. OTOH, I do have a line of holes on my wall that look like they were made by a demented woodpecker. I got frustrated trying to find some studs and figgered every two inches oughtta hit sumthin'...
ReplyDeleteI always had good luck with tapping the wall and listening.
