Re: How to locate 22/4 jacketed buried in wall.

[PE <edmonds_p@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

A friend of mine that used to do construction used to fight with
drywallers all the time because they covered up boxes etc so his
solution was to  looking for his wires after telling the owner . He
would take his hammer and make a hole starting at around 6 feet (
looking for a plug box) and a sheet would have around 20 holes before
he got to plug height . Ive seen him do it and i would stand there
pissin myself . He has never played well with others. but 1 of 2
things happened
1 it stopped happening or
2 it got worse ( usually much worse)
