Spent 9 hours on a 20 minute shelf bracket because I measured off the wrong stud
Built a floating shelf for my garage in Orchard Park last Saturday and it turned into a full day thing. I drilled pilot holes, hit nothing, moved over 2 inches, hit nothing again, and this went on for like six tries before I realized the stud finder was reading my old drywall patch job. By hour nine I had four extra holes in the wall, a bent bracket, and my neighbor Dave laughing at me from his driveway. Should I just use heavy duty toggles and patch the mess, or is it worth cutting open the wall to find the real studs?
