Glad you weren't hurt

I'm always leery of homers cabinetry, seen too many just like yours

Hope your GL is paid up, those *****hole$

I always toe/screw downward when studs aren't present

Judging from the number of screws they were looking for the studs and just give up. Or ran out of screws.

Brian, was this for real, if it is I don't believe it. ha. ha.

If it is, I hope you did not get hurt.

Dale, how could you tell there was no blocking in the wall? It fell down.

Ahh, you sly fox, My dear Watson, notice the fine gypsum dust on the screws and no wood particles.

Elementary my dear Watson.

Nice Dale.

Marcel

Even a bad stud finder does a better job than that.
