RichardL Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Studwork wall Pictured is the corner of my bathroom conversion - Timber/stud work build room. Orange - roughly where a 100mm through hole required for a ventilator. Green - known vertical stud position - screws/nails found with a magnet. No other obvious nail/fixing lines. I'm not going up and through the eaves on this room. The challenge. I'm betting theres a diagonal stud in there somewhere & ideally would like to miss it when I drill the 100mm hole. I guess I could hedge my bets - its either floor to ceiling or mid way to ceiling - if I draw both crosses I might miss it? and/or some pilot holes to check there's void before the big hole? and/or toss a coin a few times and wait until I'm on a lucky streak? Question Are there any better methods? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Jimbo Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 I'd go with a good few pilot holes. Middle, Top,Right, Bottom, and left. You can easily fill them if it don't work out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonner Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 As above, either lots of exploratory holes or a neat cut out of the PB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
