Job done. Shows how much my wife and sister know right boys!

All those extra holes were already there by the way. Wall holes are big in France.

    Buy a stud finder. Slide it back and forth a lot. Mark the edges multiple times until it’s pretty clearly a multiple of 1.5 inches.

    Non supporting walls will only have 1.5 inches or sometimes 3 inches of stud to mount to.

    Supporting walls will have a lot more. Solid wood above the window, jack studs, and king studs. It varied depending on load requirements, but it’s usually several studs solid around supporting wall openings.
