    My new technique is more reliable...
    Lots of little holes 10mm apart until I find a stud!
    Then just spack and touch up ;)

    Edit:
    Obviously this doesn't apply to a home I don't own yet..

    I once asked a girl in a Macca's carpark to knock on my chest.

    "What the heck for !?!" was her response.

    My quick reply was "So you know what a stud sounds like lol...now lets go for a spin!"

    Can I do it?
    I have no idea what a stud sounds like when you knock him in the chest.
    Could be a great YouTube video.

    That's a 14 hour drive in the VL. It should be clear of cobwebs by the time you arrive

    I'll use autopilot. 14 hours is just too long.

    No doubt. I am not too fond of Stanley but limited options at Bunnos.

    Back on topic.

    I know an Angus. My son-in-law but Angus is his surname.

    He married my daughter and she took his surname. So, I know two Angus.

    Hold a sec. I know his father, his three brothers, his uncles, his aunties, his cousins, ...

    ****, I know a whole stack of Angus :) :).

    They are so crazy they think the Angus burger is named in their honour!!!!

    That's how powerful the marketing has been.

    Yep. And your post reminds me of a debate I used to always have when I was in business.

    Marketing is a lead generation tool, not a lead conversation tool.

    Marketing does not increase sales, it increase brand/product awareness.

    I am very aware of the Angus burger (from their marketing) but I have never bought or eaten one (that is, no sale).
