Outside walls will be block with 1 by 4 nailers for the sheetrock.

Inside walls will be studs.

Is your stud finder finding 1.5 inch wide studs or 3.5 inch 'studs'?

Which wall are you trying to use??


even if you have hit a 1x4 nailer, I would still just drill thru that and into the block beyond, then put in a 3 inch or so concrete anchor type thing for a lag bolt.
