A magnet finds screws
it was very handy in old home with randomly placed framing. Such as my house which started life as a 600 sq foot chicken coupe in the 50’s I have added on over years and Im up to 1,400 sq now. But it was really handy for the old lath and plaster walls which I deal with on a regular basis in the buildings where I work. They were all built in the mid to late 1800’s. I guess I should look for another one some day and see if anyone still makes them. If any one knows let me know.And what previous owners do. I'm no contractor, but some of the stuff I've seen here...
Got an online boat friend I've had for about 20 years that I unfortunately have not met yet in person but his place up in the Hamptons he took from a tool shed to his current house. He's an artist as is his wife. He did a yellow notepad for meI still used my grandfather’s magnetic stud finder
up until 6 months ago when someone walked off with it.

Are you talking about the pic in post 16? The cabinet was only resting on the stand in that one. I had to take the drywall and top door hinge out because I measured where it was going, but not the path it would take to get there. It was too wide, and even after taking the drywall down, I still got wedged on the nail plate and had to hammer it through.
Yes post 16. Didn’t realize you had yet to fasten it. I was referring to this area here.
There's a header. That is a pre hung door, which I framed with 2x4s. The header is 2x2, it's just barely visible in that pic, looks more like a shadow.
You have no idea. Half framed window, aluminum flashing over holes everywhere, speaker wire wired into an outlet and hanging cut under the house, metal boxed outlet under the house (presumably for heat tape for the water line), breaker box mounted to the 1/4 inch paneling...
