Metal plate between joist and drywall in garage ceiling

Thank you very much for your suggestions. Let me try to summarize your questions so far: 1. Is it a newer home? Yes, it's 5 years old. 2. Are there metal studs? I doubt it. The attic studs are all wood, but I can't be 100% sure since this is between the first and second floor. 3. Is it a nail guard? That's what I thought, but can it be that I can be so lucky that I managed to find nail guards at four different random locations? Is there ever a case when the nail guard extends the length of the whole beam? 4. I would be afraid to drill blindly through it just in case there is some electrical wiring or piping. Any other thoughts? Thanks! Doug Did you figure out what this was? I'm having a similar issue with my garage ceiling. |

The "original msg" is missing because it was posted over 13 years ago. Chances are good that Doug will not be finding "stevo.brush's" question. Most Google Groupers don't ever look at posting dates. It's really funny. :-) |
