I know that the stud inside the drywall is 16" apart from center to center. But I notice that around the window, door, the corner, it is hard to guess where the studs are.
I bought a new tech stud finder with the live wire and metal finder last December, but still it is difficult around the window and door frames, and corners. I also has the magnetic stud finder looking for nails in the stud.
Is there any better way to guess more correctly the studs around the windows, door, and the corners and any gaps between the studs, close to X-ray vision?
Also, is the horizontal stud between the 16"-apart vertical studs within one story(between two floor levels) always there once somewhere in the middle, or sometimes none, or more than once in some situation?
Thank you very much.
