After looking at the zircon site they have a different model of detector, which is supposed to work better with lath and plaster walls. i ordered it on amazon last night and should have it tomorrow. Hopefully that'll do it for me. Otherwise i suspect i'll be drilling exploratory holes near the baseboard to find out where the studs are. btw, i did try your method and it sorta works. I do have a rough idea where i think one stud is.but i'd rather be precise if i can. | |
