I am not a builder… but that does not seem right

Or just put the box 4" to the right, directly on the stud. Why on earth they thought it had to be exactly where it is is beyond me.
perhaps it is centered between some further away objects and they cared about aesthetics.

I bought one, put up to my dads back, let it beep, and said to him "i think its defective" 🤪

24" on-center wall studs aren't uncommon in building practices today
Most residential interior walls are 16"
If their house is single-story, then 24" would fit in a lot of local building codes.
If any of you find a house on the market with 24" centered 2x4 walls--run. That won't be the only thing they went cheap on.

That's not the worst cludge I've ever seen, but it's good and stupid alright.
But imagine, won't you, an electrical outlet box attached with directly to the oven's gas line. The outlet was for the microwave. My friend no longer lives in that condo lol

By choice? Or by being forcibly evicted by the rapid expansion of heated gas?

Just think of all the things you can do without ever consulting someone else. Single has its perks!
It's actually not bad. I have motivation to work out for me and not anyone else, I can spend money on things she called silly, I don't even have to cook without flavor.

See? That's the spirit! I'm glad you seem to be finding your groove without too much suffering.

To verify your stud detector works you must point it to your self, make a beeping sound, turn to your significant other and tell them "I'm a stud"

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Engineered roof trusses have made most interior walls non-load-bearing. 24" on center is fine for such walls. Exterior walls are still 16" OC, though.

They probably wanted to figure out what the hell was up with that wall.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]I spoke with a firefighter I know about those trusses. He said they were the worst thing in modern fire safety and that he refuses to buy a house with them, because once they start getting hot, you've maybe got two minutes before that stupid staple plate pops off. Two or three trusses get their stupid little plates popped off and the whole house is coming down. Makes house fires way more dangerous and time sensitive than they already were, apparently.

Your house is incorrect. 16" on-center wall studs have been a thing for way more than 30 years.
Non-load bearing interior walls less than 8’ tall are often 24” studs.

Thewhole "story" seems dumb. They only checkt at that exact same height and decided to open up the wall.
