  • Made a hole in friends wall...need advice fixing

    Well, after drinking a bit with my entourage I was running around the house and decided to 'bounce' off the wall. I jumped and was gonna plan a foot on the wall and rebound off. I didn't consider my friends house is kinda rickety. When my foot hit the wall the wall crumbled in a 1x1 hole. The wall was nothing but wafer-thin sheet rock. Anyone could've poked it and it would've cracked. Anyway. I need to fix it and and wanted to know the best way to do so. Thanks.

    Cut out a circular piece of cardboard, superglue, then paint it over

      Get a new piece of sheet rock (same thickness), patch it, tape it, sand it, and finally paint it.

        what he said...

        cut a square out around the hole, got get a piece of a sheetrock same thickness. cut same size of the whole.

        put a small piece of wood behind, screw it in(sink the screw in a little) put the new patch piece in, screw it in too.

        tape it, fill in the holes form the screws sand it then paint it.


        PS most drywall is not made to let you "climb it"

          i bet its gonna look like **** since you dont have experience working with drywall and ready-mix. I would say just pay someone to do it, it should cost like 25 bucks so no worries.

            Agreed, I have done it a few times but won't say I am good at it... Its not an easy thing if you haven't done it before.
