Drywall work is a pain!

It's dirty, too. I'm pretty happy I picked electrical, it's the easiest on your body.

Till you get lit up you mean

That stuff hurts

@Deleted User yeah bro, go ahead. I'll figure out how to move it into lessons after you finish.

Thanks. That's good stuff to know how to do.

Ok everybody. Patching some drywall with the “hot patch” method. This is only one way to do it but you don’t have to buy those kits and works just as good if you’ve got a scrap piece of drywall laying around:

That’s the hole we wanna patch. You’ll need these tools plus some drywall and mud

Measure the size of the hole. In this case it’s approx 3.5” the size of a coffe top

Outline around the size of the hole about an inch in every direction

Then cut out the bigger outline

Flip the piece over and draw your true patch size on The backside

Then cut out everything on that line. You can make straight cuts like so and fold then peel away the sheet rock leaving the paper

Then peel off the excess by going all the way around.

Should end up looking like this

Now use that piece to plug the hole but BEFORE YOU DO put fresh mud around the outside of the hole on the wall so the paper has something to stick to. (Don’t have photos of the mud) I

Make sure there is mud underneath the paper

Then you take a drywall knife and spread it out

Put mud over the entire patch if it is small enough

Make sure you have a nice ever coat

Let dry and knock the ridges down with a drywall knife. You may have to do a second coat, repeat the knife to knock down ridges, then sand and your done

@Deleted User nice one bro. That's something everyone can use. I've patched a few holes and dents in apartments I've lived in, gotta get that deposit back.
Hey @Deleted User how I do move this into lessons?

Now thats a thinking mans solution!!

@RevStench copy paste I think is the only way

@RevStench cool man thanks, I forgot to take pics of the mud going on before the patch but you get the idea.
