Things always seem harder than they are until someone explains how to do it. Thanks for explaining. Good stuff!
You are a life saver! I’ve put in so many unnecessary holes to patch. Now I get it and you made it easy for me. Thank you!!!
Very informative. Thanks for the video. Vids like this are appreciated to all home owners whom do not have a stud finder.
Omg 😱 😊❤🎉 you’re really a life saver I spent hours days almost a week just to figure out how to hang my tv but nothing helps until I found out your video thanks again may Allah reward you and your family.
Always great information, thanks for sharing. 👍
Learning something new every time. Thank you for the videos. 😁
Very simple but very smart advice !! Thanks a lot.
Great tutorial !!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge !!!
Thanks for sharing your know-how stud finding! I live in a house built in the 1940's!! I will be mounting an HDTV on my livingroom wall, as well as one in my kitchen, as i will hang it from the ceiling. I love watching TV when i cook!
This video changed my life! Thank you Fixer!
Wow, I always get so much from your videos! ("I knocked, so the dog's gonna bark.") lol, love that👍
Haha I appreciate it! And yeah he barks at everything really haha. Thanks for the kind words and for checking out the video!
The dog barked. Good boy!
Thumbs up for you, and a new subscriber. Thank you for the tips and explanation. Thanks for the video.
Most of the time I'm knocking on the wall, and work for me. I'm sure your instructions are better. Thank you so much!!!
That can work for sure. I am thinking of doing an entire separate video on that method. I have just never trusted it so I really never use it. Maybe I just do not have the ear/feel for it. Thanks for checking out the video! AND for being a loyal subscriber!
My dad has been a contractor for 35+ years and that’s what he’s always done but I don’t think I have the ear for it either. Once in a while I get lucky.
The opening was fantastic!!
This was awesome! Thank you!
Thanks so much for this one!
Great tips! Thanks much.
Great instructional vid👍👍
Dude you're awesome. Stud finders suck! It took forever. This was so helpful. Can't wait to get home amd try these
Great tip! Thanks!
Interesting thanks for the info 👍
Thank you. This really helped. I just looked for that shoddy nail in the baseboard. lol
Haha perfect! Happy it helped you out! Thanks for watching!
A pulsating & swollen 2 thumbs up. Memorable.
Great sense of humor
Great information and tips.
Now I can hang my pictures and towel bars!
You can do it!
I know I'm never gonna do something like this in my whole entire existence and my house is concrete but I just like watching this 😂
Very helpful! Thank you.
Thanks Shana!
Good to know. Thanks.
I now own three stud finders which all are useless! Thank you for all these tips and details where house studs are placed. Gonna get "crackin" with my house tasks. Carol
Hello ray here from New York wow thanks for u input I’ll keep this in mind for next time thanks buddy till next time 👍✌️
Thanks Raymond!
This video is brilliant! Got just about enough confidence to hang my TV now :)
Awesome! So happy to help! Thanks for checking it out!
Good job man, enjoyed every word learnt a lot as I am 72 and new to the American home construction, I come from a world where houses are built with cement
Good to know, I like it.
Excellent VIDEO.
Thank you very much, Marlene!!
I'm feeling pretty stupid right about now. lol I have been after my son to hang the TV on the wall he got me for my bedroom (didn't want one, but to a 20 year old, it's a big deal to have one in the bedroom) . He has been putting me off for the past two years now saying he needs a stud finder. I knew about this, my late husband did the electrical and plumbing when we added on our home, but I totally forgot all about it. I'm going to try and save grace by saying I was a mess after he passed away 3 years ago. Now, I'm not going to let my son use that excuse any more! lol Thanks for informing and reminding some of us.
“I’m going to show you how to find it with imperfections-” *examines entire room* “I can’t find any imperfections, I did an amazing job.” Lol
I live your little intros!!!!
Thank you!
@@TheFixerHomeRepair you're welcome! I'm learning all kinds of stuff from you so thank you back!
That is great to hear!
You need to remember that stud measurement is 15-1/4" from the corner then 16" repeated. At a window you have a stud and a jack stud but below the window the 16" stud centers continue. This can vary depending from which side of the wall the carpenter lays it out.
The intro😂😂😂😂
great video. i know how to find them but this really helped still as a refresher
Awesome to hear! Thanks for checking out the video!
I literally bought a stud finder, and it didn't work. Did the method mentioned: *measuring from power outlet every 16"* and now my 80" t.v. is mounted perfectly the wall of my brand new house!! Thank you for the very informative video!!
This is so great to hear! So happy it helped! Thanks for watching and enjoy your TV!!
Thank you so much 🙏
No problem! Thanks for watching!
Although I got no studs in my walls this is very interessing and really clever. 👍🏻
No studs in your wall ? Do you live in a tent .
@@midnightrunner684 I live in a brick house 🧱.
Mostly no studs or cavities in the walls.
Yes there are shores oc.
The brick walls are plastered or randered. On this we put wallpaper and/or paint. All walls are solid.
Our sockets / switches are in the wall (flush-mounted).
(Yes, we love dowels, too 😉 but more for solid walls instead of cavity dowels)
Same as all electricity cables. All water pipes should be flush-mounted, at least in modern /newly built houses. Heating pipes can be seen of course, except for underfloor heating.
Therefore we have to find the cables we cant see, too (hang a picture or a shelf eg). The tapping methode to indentify cavities by hearing is mostly useless here. 😟
There is a golden rule: All cables are flush-mounted rectangled and leading to the ceiling. So better dont drill a hole above a socket 😑😉
Useful are those detectors who can show you where all the cables, metal bars and water pipes are hidden in the walls. 😊
Our ceilings are often lowered so there is a cavity to gather and hide all electricity cables mostly right above the lamp.
I am not sure if there are studs. But I guess so. Would be useful at least. (I seldom watch inside.)
Unlike you, we got a lot of building and safety codes. 🙄
This makes it more expensive (material, craftsmen etc).
Because you are often not allowed to do it by your own (electricity eg. We got 260V) and the outer measures of the house cant be changed easily.
And simply wood is cheaper than brick.
It is just different and I enjoy to watch building methodes of other countries. 😀
Would you recommend the cover method with a metal box
is that the same for plaster wall? pre-war...
I sooo don’t wanna sound inappropriate but my gosh are you handsome!!!! And so handy
thanks so much, this helped me a lot, couldn't find them in wall to hang TV, thank you!
Great to hear! Happy it helped. Thanks for watching!
people be hanging pictures on the studs, my whole life ive just put a nail or screw in the wall and let it sit on it haha, even with clocks
Damn you got me BEAT. Ive just been using double side tape😂😂😂
Or for me I can just lift up one of the drop ceiling tiles and see where they didn’t put drywall above it and see the studs. I’m not sure if mine are 16” on center because my house I 140 years old.
Looking at your window shade, I must have installed mine wrong... because the roller part, yours go over... And mine go under. But I guess it could be like toilet paper, some people put it over and some people put it under.
❤️
😁🙏
To proof it knock wall and c if ur right
As I watch this, I realize that my house is made out of paper, my spacing isn't true. It is spread randomly because this house was made by an old landlord trying to cut corners.
Hey, Angel! That happens. Hopefully this video helps you find studs. It can be tough when houses are built without rhyme or reason. Thanks for watching!
So knocking on the wall like you’re in the produce aisle looking for the perfect watermelon doesn’t work?
Ah, I just learned, if all pictures in a US-house hang 16 inches apart, then it's a well built house. 😀
I prefer to just jam a nail into the wall repeatedly until I find the stud.. 😉. Show some support for this awesome channel at www.patreon.com/TheFixer
That works too! Thank you for your support!
Mine is useless blinking all over the wall
Use a magnet to find studs
seams..oh well I'll have no problem them...this crap flipper home has seams popping all over the place
Very helpful!! Thank you!!!
Thank you for watching! Happy to hear it helped you out!
