What's behind that wall?

I'm at the point in my build where I need to tie some things to the galley bulkhead I'd built several years ago, and it seems I deviated from the plans a little and forgot to properly note the changes. :oops:

It turns out an old fashioned stud finder works wonderfully for this

Probably obvious, but I don't remember it mentioned on TNTTT, so thought I would.

Our bulkhead is 1/8" Baltic birch over 3/4" plywood and blue foam. The stud finder measures electrical capacitance (I think). I clicked on it on an area I was confident was over foam, and the transitions to the plywood regions were crisp and clear.

Wasn't my idea - somebody on this forum much wiser than I showed this technique - but I took wrote critical dimensions on wiring location and took pictures of framing before I placed the outer plywood skin.
