Study the building code to determine with >95% accuracy what is behind the wall based upon surrounding fixtures.
- Quarrel 2y agoYou're going to be in trouble once you get to 20 houses :)
- mrgoldenbrown 2y agoHow do you know the building code from 100+ years ago? And whether they actually followed it back then?
- pizzafeelsright 2y ago100 years ago there wasn't really code, or electricity or extensive plumbing and everything is pretty obvious. As for following - after the 50's everything was, in theory, built to code with exceptions. Worse case really is hitting a water pipe.
