Sure thing 👍

I wish I would of showed that one on video. In my experience if you start on a stud you’ll get mixed readings. I’ll only drill if I can get consistent results from each direction. Thank you for the comment.

Thank you!

Thank you! We appreciate the feedback. I wish you the best of luck to you with your project.

Good question, I'm not an expert in this area but this is how I do it. Typically in modern construction the electric is ran threw the center of the studs and along a stud to the light switches. If you're hanging something like a picture with a short scew or nail, I'd say go for it. If you're hanging a flat screen TV that requires big lag screws, I'd say no. I hope this helps a little bit.

@@WolletBoys thank you so much for your feedback! This really helps me plan out how to go about hanging everything!

Thank you!

No problem! I don’t believe they offer the one I used anymore.

Any modern Zircon is really good. The one used here is good but I think it's an entry model. I go 1 step up with one that has a screen to visually shown you where about the stud is.

Man... that's a hard one. There are so many. The best one I've ever used is Zircon 740 it like $60. If you just using around the house I'd pick one just above the cheapest model.

Not necessarily, if you’re just hanging pictures with small screws and nails it shouldn’t be a problem. When you start hanging large items like a flatscreen tv, they require a large lag bolt. That’s when you should start checking for wires. Best of luck!

You got this! A couple things to help out *I'm not an expert* just trying to help. Most likely the wiring for the lights run along the center of the joist, usually a 2×10. So the chance of hitting it will be low. Also, you might want to attach directly to the joist instead of using a toggle. That mainly depends of the weight of the plants. Good luck 👍
