00:03

00:05
looking for help finding a boyfriend
00:06
that would be a different stud finder ah
00:08
dad joke sorry
00:10
it’s dad how do I say yeah you gotta
00:12
expect those occasionally you got to
00:13
give me that okay so anyway what we’re
00:15
gonna be doing is we’re looking for a
00:17
stud behind this wall and here’s what a
00:19
stud is it’s this it’s a 2×4 which
00:23
actually isn’t the 2×4 not sure if
00:25
you’re aware of that but a 2×4 what we
00:27
know as a 2×4 is actually a one and a
00:30
half by three and a half it’s it’s
00:32
called the 2×4 because when it’s rough
00:34
cut it’s two by four and then they plane
00:36
it down it’s actually one and a half by
00:37
three and a half but it’s much easier to
00:39
just call it 2×4 okay so that’s what is
00:42
behind the wall every 16 inches in
00:45
America standard code is you’d find one
00:49
of those every 16 inches as you work
00:51
your way down okay so basically we’re
00:54
just gonna put this up here on the wall
00:55
and this one actually reads they see I’m
00:58
not sure how accurate the AC is the the
01:00
stud part works great but okay so we’re
01:02
gonna push this one down okay so it’s on
01:06
I’m holding that button down and I’m
01:08
going across okay ooh nice the light is
01:13
come on on the right okay I keep going
01:15
to the right it’s telling me keep going
01:17
to the right to look for that Center and
01:19
then once they hit the center look deep
01:21
there it is that’s the center and this
01:24
one has a hole right here so then I can
01:26
just go ahead and mark it and then I’m
01:27
good to go
01:28
okay so especially if you’re hanging
01:32
something heavy you want to make sure
01:33
you get into a stud so you’re into
01:37
something solid right so on my next
01:40
video I’m going to show you how to
01:41
actually hang something I just wanted to
01:42
have this stud finder video be a stand
01:45
alone in case that’s you’re just trying
01:47
to figure out how to use a stud finder
01:48
