That ain't supposed to be there.
In the process of remodeling our downstairs bathroom, I decided it would be great to have a recessed ceiling light over the shower. Since I had sanded the gold 70's colored shower yesterday in preparation for expoy coating it white, I had it all nice and dry. Perfect time to do the ceiling light. I got out my stud finder and carefully checked the ceiling to map out where the studs were. Perfect. Right above the center of the shower there aren't any studs.
I picked up the recessed light fixture for existing homes, and using the enclosed template I draw a nice circle and within a few seconds with my reciprocating saw I have a nice hole in the ceiling. And as they say, "That ain't supposed to be there." Guess what? Copper pipes aren't magnetic, so the stud finder doesn't find it. Praise Jesus, I didn't plow through the pipe with the saw!. So, instead of a recessed light, there is a nice patched hole. I'm getting more practice at drywall all the time.
This is just the beginning of the project, I can only dare to imagine what else will come along to test my patience. May God grant me that patience, I'm' sure I'll need it.
