Thank goodness for modern technology. But what if you don&#8217;t have one or your budget is too tight to run over to the nearest Home Depot or Lowes to get one? Now what? How do we find a stud behind a wall? Here goes. This is how we do it. First find an electric outlet socket on the wall. These outlets are normally mounted on the side of a stud (which is behind the wall). Take a hammer and gently tap around the outlet. The area that doesn&#8217;t sound hollow is likely to be where the stud is behind the wall. But what if the socket is located at the bottom and center of your living room wall ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Clean away any hanging or loose wallboard from the affected area. You can do this by pulling the drywall debris with your hands (be sure to wear protective gloves) or lightly sanding the edges in order to create a clean edge.
