Stud Searchin'

Worker Man is very talented when it comes to fixing things around the house. When he bought the house we live in now he completely re-did the bathroom all by himself.

Well, he got a new front door for Christmas and last Saturday he put it in. I'm not going to lie, I was a little nervous because he tends to get a little hammer happy, start the job, and then take any where from two weeks to two months to finish the job. So, needless to say, with him knocking a huge hole in the front of the house, I was really hoping that this would not turn into a two month-long project. But, he put up the door effortlessly. Even my dad was impressed (which says a lot).

Well, with his pride came more hammer happiness.

I was in the study on the computer and I kept hearing all this banging. I wasn't really thinking about it but after a little bit I finally realized it was coming from the bedroom. I look in there and Worker Man is standing there with a hammer and nail looking guilty.

Sidenote: About a week prior to all this, we had talked about the possibility of opening my closet from a single door to double doors. We never got further than talking about it but apparently talking about it means we should get started right away.

I ask what he's been doing with his hammer and nail and he replies, "finding a stud". Like I said earlier, Worker Man knows how to do things. Like Worker Man things. Obviously, you do not need to use a hammer and nail to find a stud so I start getting worried.

I look to the wall that he's been banging on and here's what I see:

Apparently Worker Man thinks that he should resort to nailing holes in the wall to find a stud.

Thank goodness there's a picture that hangs there. If you look close, you can see one hole on the left that's not covered.

Wow.
