    How far apart are the spots? Very well might be rust and if that's the case.. you likely have a condensation issue due to poor ventilation.

    That's not what I asked... are they an ich apart... 16 inches apart? Since we can't see them for ourselves... we are trying to determine if they are on a spacing consistent with nails or screws.
