alanz 1 Report post Posted July 27, 2017 When I decided to renovate my old house in Auckland I found the local SO Renovate company near me. These guys gave me great ideas and helped to save more money. Anyway, I think it's better to consult with the specialists in your area that you can trust to make the right decision.

AdamRichell 0 Report post Posted June 8, 2020 (edited) I also need advice. I started to make repairs in the new house and the first problem was that when I wanted to install the furniture, it was found that inside the walls there are some things that remained from the former owners when they made repairs. I don't know what to do and I was thinking maybe someone from such a forum can help me. A friend told me that for the beginning I have to buy a stud finder but I don't know what I need and how to choose. Of course, I found a site (I'll leave it here) where there are several stud finders but I don't know what to choose. Please help me. I leave the site here and I am waiting for you to answer which one to choose from https://electricstudfinder.com . Maybe someone has already bought something like that.
