I'm trying to put up some shelving and I am using the ez wall anchors party because I'm not planning on putting anything to heavy on there. Of course I need to be careful of electrical so I bought I stud finder that detects (or warns of) live wire proximity. But I doesn't show when you're right over the wiring just warns you that you're close. So my question is, how can I find out where this wiring is more precisely so I don't electrocute myself in the process of putting shelves up?

I'm in the process of rewiring a house that has had little updates done since 1955. The original panel that I want to replace has a drain pipe run in front of it all the way to the sewer. I'd prefer to not run it on the foundation wall on the right of this picture because it's full of gas lines and it would have to be located right between the furnace and the septic tank. [ATTACH]59000[/ATTACH] I think the best solution would be to build replace the old wall that's on the left of the attached image with a new wall that's up to code. Then I want to mount the new electrical panel on the inside of this new wall I build, ensuring while ensuring proper clearance of 36 x 30" in front of the panel along with 30" above and the 6.5' height. [B]Is this solution acceptable and will it pass inspection? Is there a better solution? [/B] [U]Any help is appreciated! :thumbup: [/U] Thanks, Jeff
