Use a cordless drill with a piece of stiff wire for a superpower to "see through" floors! This foolproof location method saves time and is more accurate than the conventional method of measuring from reference points. Best of all it leaves virtually no trace to fill and patch after use. Used cautiously it's also effective for looking through interior walls, exterior walls and ceilings too!
