I Installed A Hidden Safe in My Wall! Had Some ISSUES…
In this video, join me on an exciting journey as I install a hidden safe in my wall, but I had some issues… Using the Walabot stud finder, I’ll check for any electrical and plumbing surprises before cutting into the drywall. But things don’t go exactly as planned! While I was checking for plumbing and electrical, I realized my studs were spaced 24” on center verses 16” on center. This is a bit of an issue because the safe is designed for 16” O.C. I had to improvise and all more studs in the wall to be able to properly secure the safe.
Watch as I navigate unexpected challenges, including the need for extra studs to support my new secret safe. Will I successfully complete the installation, or will chaos ensue?
Whether you're a DIY newbie or a seasoned pro, you’ll get some laughs (and maybe a few handy tips) along the way. Don’t forget to share your own DIY disasters in the comments!
