Job done. Shows how much my wife and sister know right boys!

All those extra holes were already there by the way. Wall holes are big in France.

    You need to get a stud finder. Mostly so you can point it at yourself and say, “Hey, look! I found a stud!”. Also because they’re handy when you need to locate a structural stud within a wall.

      Damnit you stole my joke.

      Stud finders don’t work within 16’ inches from my body.

      Seriously though I’ve used stud finders before and never once figured them out. I could really use a tutorial on stud finder’s because according to my calculations the wall is all studs.

        Truth is most stud finders suck. I just use a magnet. They make fancy magnets for finding studs that give a tactile ‘pop’ if that’s your thing. Depends on your wall material but for sheetrock just go looking for the screws with a magnet and bob’s your oyster.

        I realize you are presumably French, but X’ is feet and X" is inches

        Naturally the bigger measurement has less marks, because why would it make sense?

        I never lived in a place with “fake” walls, well I lived in 5 or 6 different places in the same city in France so I guess there can be different building architecture

      They give you a kind of approximation of where a stud might be unless it’s just plaster or something else or nothing at all.

      If it was wood-framed, there would be studs and the header there so it might have been more of an aesthetic decision to move it (or it’s France so not wood-framed)
