How To Put Studs In The Wall. How to find a stud. Think you'll make a mistake?
We are remodeling our old house (built in the 40's) and have opened up one side of a long wall in the house.
How thick is a stud wall is a very common question we get and this project will help you understand the dimensions and thickness that your internal walls should be. From each of those lines, measure over 3/4 (in the same direction) and draw another line. Most stud finders are inconsistent at best, and i've found the more i learn about how houses are built, the easier it is to find a stud through logic instead of equipment. No one wants to repeatedly drill holes in the wall and only hit air!
