You could probably use an infrared camera and a heat gun. Heat the
wall and then look at it with the camera. The drywall that is
against studs will change temperature more slowly; heat up slower,
cool down slower thus allowing you to see where the studs are.

Have you actually tried it? I really hate it when people give
advice that is merely pulled out of their ass.


They can tell if you are using grow lamps to grow marijuana in your
basement by the infrared glow of your basement walls.


Cite?

They usually go by existance of a utility bill that is five times
higher that normal.



The Tommy Chong look doesn't help either...
