Hi I thought after sending that message out last Night on tips on finding studs that if you could get into the Ceiling through a Man Hole and could get over the wall area in question. Then you could feel how the studs are placed by then taking some measurements transfer this below rather than taking the wall apart. Take extreme care while up there that you may come in contact with electrical wiring and walk on the rafters and support beams only.
