Studs behind drywall
new to the group and i've been checking through the forum trying to
find an answer to this problem i have. I recently repainted my daughter's room and i am in the process of putting up shelves. I've put up shelves before and i have a handy little zircon stud finder that has worked in the past. Well, this time, i located a stud, marked off where the shelves are going, an 8" shelf and approximately 12" above that a 10" shelf. Now, my conundrum. Where I drilled into the wall, for the 8" shelf, i found the stud no problem. But when i went to drill 12"s higher for the 10" shelf, no STUD!! I ran the stud finder around where it should be, and nothing. I then tried screwing in a 2" screw wherei drilled and it doesn't appear to be there. Anyone have any ideas? This is an older house, i think it was remodeled last in the 50's. Any help would be appreciated. Sal |
