CitizenKate Report post Posted February 3, 2008 I just got done tearing down some wall shelves from my garage wall which the previous owner of my house installed. Just making room for some metal shelves I'm adding. I thought that would be about a 10-20 minute job, just removing 6 wood screws... but that turned out not to be the case. It was bad enough he stripped the heads on every single one of those screws (except for the ones he broke off, that is), making it necessary for me to literally just take a hammer and bash the home-made wooden brackets off the wall. But when they finally came off, another sign of his fine workmanship was revealed: his method of locating wall studs... In all fairness, this could have been done before the days of electronic stud locators, but I found lots of 'em just by tapping a claw hammer gently on the wall in different places until I heard a difference in the sound, and usually nailed them pretty good - pardon the pun. What's funny is, I'm not sure what that was he marked on the right... there was no stud there. Sheesh! I'm glad he didn't do much work inside the house!
