Moved in to our place 3 years back, and the whole house, though 5 years old, was still decorated in builder's original magnolia.
We re-painted some rooms; in one of them, we've noticed recently that the wood framework behind the plasterboard, and the nails securing the plasterboard to the frame are showing as a dark 'shadow' through both layers of paint. We can spot where virtually all of the framework is from within the room - no need for an ultrasonic stud detector, we can spot them with the naked eye.
House is brick-built. The wall showing this syndrome is an external wall, but the only room showing it is on the first floor; the matching room on the second floor doesn't show anything.
Any ideas what could be causing this?
