    I’m glad you did a large hole bc the hole I need to repair is slightly larger than that. I think I can do this.

    Thats the right method bu the overkill on the cut out is ummm.. well overkill.

      Lol... I hear ya. The reason for the hole in the first place was that's where the toilet paper holder goes that the kids use as a handle. I purpose went bigger so the wood backing went across and the holder had something solid to bite into on both ends

      @@the_tonz Actually now that Iook at it again it looks great. And yes If you need to have something bigger so the TP roller can stay on more firmly I can see why. 👍🏽

      I don’t mind the big hole they ended up cutting because I actually had a hole that big and this gave me comfort knowing this technique was shown on a hole similar in size, instead of small one.

    I use metal studs. You can easily cut them with tin snips and they come with holes in them spaced out for conduit runs when framing a wall. If you measure just right, you can hold them in place with your finger using said holes. However, you do need fine thread drywall screws.

    Cut a much smaller square around the hole and do a "California Patch" with drywall.

    Cut out a tear form instead of the square. Harder to notice when finished

  • @AXS32145
    @AXS32145 Před měsícem +1

    The screws were put in too deep. The heads should hold the face paper without going through it. They will likely telegraph through the finish at some point in the future.

      Correct though since it isn't framing, they aren't as likely to turn into screw pops. It definitely makes the patch weaker though.

    Easier way get a aluminum dry wall patch and cover it with spackle then paint he did not have to do all that for that small hole

    Actually looks like that had been patched before with no wood behind the dry way to support the patch.
    Someone did a poor job mudding the previous repair and it shows.
    I would do like it is done in the video.
    That being said, I do hope he added a layer or two of mud to finish it before priming and painting.
    I would have flared my last coat of mud pretty far out top, bottom and both sides.

    Why does that little round hole need to become a huge rectangular hole?

    • @the_tonz
      @the_tonz  Před 10 měsíci +7

      In this case, largely in part to needing to mount the toilet paper holder right there again so wood behind it prevented it from ripping out

      You do have to cut it if you want to actually use that spot again for mounting. This is how you properly fix something rather than lazily spackling it

    So let’s say I cut circle drywall circle shape to put insulation the spray insulation how can I fix the circle shape hole cut bigger then the circle hole in square drywall patch fix it that way or cut a drywall in circle way like the hole and doit that way which is better ??

      Square method will always be superior. Easier to accurately measure, better for putting the backing board, etc.

    The best way??? Considering that each individual person has different skill sets, gather information AND experience from what you believe to be the best videos. Then match your skills to what you believe you can do and move on from there. At least this seems logical to me. Good luck in your repair!

    FYI totally wrong method of repair. cut it back to the studs scab a new stud on the side of the old studs and replace your drywall. doing it this way the first time it gets bumped you will have screw pops on the other side of your patch where you attached the plywood to the existing drywall guaranteed every time. if you're going to go to all the work to make a video and do something you should do it proper. just some friendly informatio.
