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.

  1. 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.

    He thinks he's hilarious.

  3. I'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'...

  4. I always had good luck with tapping the wall and listening.
