Just an FYI...

If it's horizontal, it ain't a stud.

A plate? Perhaps. Blocking? Maybe.

But a "Stud"? Nope.

Studs be vertical.

Around here they're called "fire stops" and they're a pain
in the buttocks when you have to install new wiring.

Yeah, I still have a bunch of wires coming out of the wall above one,
and going back into the wall 6 inches lower. Some day I'll fix it, or
the new owner might.
