To verify your stud detector works you must point it to your self, make a beeping sound, turn to your significant other and tell them “I’m a stud”
I don’t have the willpower to not make this joke to my wife.
I taught my toddler to scan her mom (my wife) and say “look, I found a stud!”
I always thought of a stud as a male horse whose main job is supplying baby horse juice. I’m guessing that’s not what you mean?
Well that definitely makes it less …uh… cute.
I bought one, put up to my dads back, let it beep, and said to him “i think its defective” 🤪

This is some environmental storytelling right here. I see a story of an electrician, all out of appropriate lengths of wood, working past five on the night before the drywallers show up.
That can’t possibly be an actual electrician’s work, can it? That’s got to be the work of a homeowner who didn’t know the correct way to locate an outlet in the middle of a stud bay.
How does it end?
They probably couldn’t watch Netflix that time 😔
Ah yes. Load bearing connector box.
If it works, is it really broken? Just add more screws.
I am not familiar with the removing a section of drywall in order to hang a TV technique
Use stud finder (beep) move it two inches (still beep) move it further (still beep) move it again (still beep). “Stud finder must be broken” Get another stud finder (still beep but the whole section again) “I need to know what’s behind this wall before I just bolt this TV to this fucking thing” (cut away the drywall) “I better make this look like something stupid for fake Internet points…”
It’s okay, they’re using that special load-bearing drywall.
Oops all studs
Couldn’t even bother to level the blocks 🙄 smh.
Wowzer trousers that’s bad. There’s even an outlet just to the left, what’s that all about??
Buuut
A stud finder works by sticking to the drywall screws just under the wall paint. A stud finder wouldn’t pick this up unless the hangers screws the drywall to that piece for no reason.
Going by the writing on the wall, it’s for a 3-way dimmer switch. It also is likely the picture was taken during its install and not from someone trying to find a stud
On top of everything else, the new outlet isn’t even close to even with the old one.
