      You bashing a hole in the drywall with the hammer reminded me of when a friend brought round his son with his bike. The bike had modern tyres etc, my mate told me he had spent 3 hours mending a puncture on this bike. The bike had QR wheels which enabled very quick taking out and replacing of wheels as developed in the bike racing world. I decided he couldn't have known how to mend the puncture very quickly. I got a bradawl and on my bike pushed the bradawl into the perfectly good front tyre, did the correct wheel removal, took out the inner tube, put good one in, reassembled the wheel and put it back. Maybe 10 minutes at most, not quick for racing but adequate for leisure riding. Found the puncture the old tube and repaired it with a patch. I asked why it took him so long?? He had completely disassembled the QR spindle assembly, had a terrible job getting it back together properly. Had 3 goes at mending the puncture and it took forever to get the wheel in properly!
      About 6 months after, I recalled the incident to see if he could tell me why it took him so long, he said he couldn't remember. "Did you remember me puncturing my tyre with the bradawl", I asked, "no he re[lied". I was amazed how he had completely forgotten, his son later told me his memory on those sorts of things were severely lacking!!! Your puncturing the dry wall gave me a chuckle, thanks!!!

    I have been asking my boyfriend for months to fix the holes in the bathroom so i could repaint. Never happened. So i decided to do it myself. I know nothing about drywall and he in not so many words said id never be able to make it look good enough that it wouldn’t be noticed. Thank god i found you. After watching i pretty much think i am a pro drywall person and these holes will be patched up and look professional as hell. Im so confident that ill be. Video taping it just in case my bf says i cheated and hired someone. Ill let tou know but man you were heaven sent.

      No one wants to do it because in your mind what he did is worth less then 10 dollars because it took him less then 10 min. But most people forget, he not only had to gather up all the tools and supplies, he had to wash them too, which takes an hour. so that small hole you made, is about 50-100 dollar job. Really hard to convince people of this and not worth the headache and time to do so. It is best to not ask and do it yourself. It's really an easy job.

    You have me in tears! I just bought my first home a year ago and it is an old house. I am single mother and have only my income to provide for me and my son, so every penny counts! I had someone coming in to fix a small role in the dry wall and was quoted $100 for the service. I know maybe does not seems a lot but for me it is. So I came to youtube to find how to fix it and I found your channel. I have most of the material at home (as I have been doing some reno) and after watching your video I am sure I can do it myself, as I have done so many other small fixings around the house. It will save me a lot of money! Money that I don't have and that I would have to take from groceries to pay the contractor. Thank you so much! I cant express how much I appreciate you taking the time to teach us all this tricks. It is a life saving!! God bless you!

But as I speak to you now her time is up, Render hand of favour with Anything you can afford or give to these motherless foundation (Godstime MOTHERLESS FOUNDATION) in kebbi state Nigeria before 2DAYS with faith, as I Rise my hands towards heaven and pray for you they shall serve as point of contact wherever you are, you will receive double portion of grace to excel and total restoration of breakthrough in your life and in the life of your family.

    Tip :).. when you are cutting out the damage from a hole. Find the piece you want to use as a patch. Hold the patch piece flat on the wall covering the hole and trace it's outine with your pencil. Now cut out the damaged drywall following those lines. You have a hole ready made for your patch..
