So... Completely anecdotal "argument" and not based on any kind of actual evidence. Many companies became much more profitable during the pandemic. I work at a bank for instance and 2020 + 2021 we're some of our best years in the last decade. Sorry but your comment reeks of middle management trying to justify their job.

Magnet style stud finder is the first one I bought when I got my first apartment. 20 years later and I've never bought or even considered getting another studfindee. This is the only way to do it in my opinion. My last dog chewed up the studfinder when she was a puppy so it's covered in little holes but it still works like the day I bought it.

Lol, terrible attitude for a diy sub. If I was scared of asking or trying something new, our house would still be original 1970s with a dropped ceiling and fluorescent lights as far as the eye can see. Instead, it's 3 years later and I've redone the kitchen, a bunch of electrical, put lvp down throughout the entire floor, and refinished 2 bathrooms. All with no prior knowledge. We're living in the age of YouTube and reddit my man. Anyone can do this stuff with a little perseverance.
