Showerthought: a job in Savannah taught me to always check the studs before hanging a single sheet.

I was on a big house job there last spring and hung a whole wall before realizing the framers had put the studs at 19 inches on center, not 16, and I had to pull everything down and start over.

That Savannah framer must have been having a real off day.

When I had a bad frame job, @dianam19, I just took it back and made them fix it.

Ugh, that's the worst. Learned that lesson the hard way too. Now my stud finder never leaves my tool belt. I even mark the first one with tape and measure for the next, just to be sure. Saves so much time and drywall repair.
