Any carpenters here? (installing a handrail)

ALTERNATIBELY, Drill lots of holes to find your studs in a straight line even with where the rail will go. Cover all of those holes up with a 1x4 piece of wood to match the hand rail, anchoring it to the studs you found. Mount your hand rail to the board you just used to cover the holes. ------------------------------------------------------ To expand on Leon's idea a bit, the object is to provide a secure railing to a plastered wall with unknown stud locations. Rather than use a 1x4, use a 1x8 oak board attached to the wall with two rows of 1/4" molly boats on 8" centers. The board provides the structure to mount the rail while also spreading the rail load across a larger surface thus reducing the load any specific molly carries. Lew |
