Step 5: Locate the wooden studs behind the wall.
The last step of preparation is to locate the wooden studs behind the wallboard. Once you locate one of the studs with a punch, mark it with a pencil. The next stud will be 16 inches on center away from the first. As you measure, look for drywall screws or use a punch to confirm each of the stud’s locations. You will want the edge of each section of beadboard, as well as the molding, to be nailed to one of these studs.
 Use a punch to confirm each stud location.
