    Have a situation where my bathroom was renovated and during tiling, they covered a vent with tiles. Getting them back to resolve is not a possibility, cowboys!!! Anyway that vent in question was a hole in the wall and it's upstairs in the house. I've tried knocking and tapping to figure out where the old vent was, but have had no luck. Would a wall stud finder thingy (or something similar) be able to find the hole?

    have you a ladder ? can you work it out by measuring the distance of the vent from a window or corner on the outside wall? or drill through from the outside

    A thermal imaging camera will locate it. Not really diy but if you know someone with one...

    Read the reviews on that app. before downloading.
    This is copied from the description:
    Note: This app has no means to detect real temperature. This simulates the color theme of a thermal vision camera to provide you the tools to create cool photos.

    Tune the effect with color offset setting and 4 different color presets. Download now and start taking some seriously cool photos and maybe make your friends think your Android device is capable of real thermal vision.

    Hmm the thermal idea seems sweet, will give it a go, sure I'll give the app a lash, and see if it matches up to the measurements as suggested.

    Sounds like my Christmas project is sorted. Thanks for all the advice.

    listening to the wall wearing a tinfoil hat would be as effective as using that App :)- and more fun
