Final complete day: 2026-08-14. Attention was 1.1% — this entity appeared in 70 of 6,299 analyzed posts/comments in the seven days ending that day (117 mentions).

Each point is a seven-day rolling window of complete UTC days; a point is comparable only when at least 100 analyzed posts or comments fall inside it.

   You are not alone! Every time someone says “you’re getting work done on your house? Are you finally getting a new kitchen?” I want to scream at that no, my kitchen remains 25 years old, our entire budget is going to unsexy, expensive repairs. We have a bathroom that has been gutted to studs for six years but probably won’t get redone until we are ready to sell the house, because it’s not urgent. I hate it. What helps me a little is doing small DIY projects that don’t cost much or require any outside help. For example, my kitchen window sill is narrow and irregular, so today I am making a simple wood shelf that fits over the sill and provides a flat, useful platform for my herb garden. I am using wood scraps and leftover paint, so it’s free, and I will use it every day. Last week I patched and painted some walls and fixed a broken outlet cover. It is all low stakes stuff, so ymmv — if your heart is set on new countertops it probably won’t help. But I feel that by trying to tackle some of the things that annoy me on a daily basis, I am making the house feel more “mine” and less stressful. Good luck OP!!

   My trick is to use a peice of curved wire that I stick into one of the holes and rotate to hit a stud, also if it’s a old house it might be 24” on center

   Maybe tough to find the studs unless you marked the location before tiling

   I've installed hundreds of hood vents (HVAC contractor). I'll probably get flak on this, but if there are no wires attached to that stud, I just cut 'em. Honestly, the wall sheathing is strong enough to support the upper portion. I have never ever seen the wall sag there or cause any problem whatsoever. Yes, code requires a header and all that, but unless your wall is already compromised, you'll never miss one stud

   Didn’t want to leave anyone hanging. I was not able to find a nail using a magnet, no luck with the stud finders but my brother found the stud about 1” to the left of my original holes. I also tried to use those large plastic tv anchors and they ended up just pushing right through the wall as I tightened the lag bolts. Thanks for the suggestions and for all the dumb “here’s your stud” comments. Tv is mounted in my daughter’s room and I can move on with my life.
