    How not to fill a hole lol,,, This guy is not a tradesman,,, What a bodge up. Not how I'd have done it,,, Someone should teach this bloke how to do it properly,,, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah...... Been in the industry for years and i have seen many a tradesman do heaps worse ( ie - Newspaper , Cardboard etc )...... This bloke is showing the basics and he got the exact result that ANYONE is looking for.... As for all the tools with their opinions - please troll someone else and go and buy a left hand screwdriver.....

      Unfortunately there are many couch experts who have no idea as to what really happens on job sites, and live in a world of fantasy.
      I would like to see some of them perform a task they have not been forewarned about, and without any tools for the job, as I found myself on this occasion.
      P.S. This repair is now 4 years old, and is impossible to locate on the finished painted wall.

      Do as much research you can, then simply take your time doing the repair, with whatever method you feel comfortable with.
      I have a slightly different repair video you might like, by watching both you will have a better understanding of just how easy it is to do wall repairs yourself.

Look up wing patch or California patch and for God's sake get a metal tapping knife. I'd like to see that patch with a parallel flash light. And you should never sand through mesh tape.

    I did the exact same repair with the small piece of 2x3 wood and some extra drywall. Except, I bevelled all the edges (wall and filler piece). About a decade later, I ran the repair by a drywall guy and he told me that instead of making the filler panel square, his recommendation was to use a round shaped filler panel utilizing an appropriate sized kitchen pot lid as a template. He told me that this would prevent possible filler cracking in the corners.

The job you did was done nicely but I just wanted to know why was the sheetrock installed on backwards. There is an ink code on back of the sheetrock that will tell you the date and time and even the shift who made the sheetrock. I even had to inspect the sheetrock for thickness, strength and water absorption on the Water resistant sheetrock. Other than the sheetrock being installed backwards. You did an exceptional job.

      I've seen walls repaired with Rolled up Paper backing, Drywall backing, Chicken wire covered in Newspaper, Corrugated Cardboard backing, Burlap Sack backing, and all held up well, some for close to 100 years.

      Very true but the proof is in the end result, innit? This was a great job done without full access to tools, materials etc You can't see any blemish on the wall when job is complete so that is good enough for me!

  • @DemonsterousD
    @DemonsterousD 3 роки тому +3

    The cut out was put in backwards, and it was taped and puttied elevated from the wall around it. It's best to let the cut out recess a little as that's much easier to fill. Not to mention, doing a home repair shouldn't be accompanied by "Doesn't have to be perfect, don't have to be too particular, doesn't have to be exact" the whole time you're doing it.

    Nice concept but I thought I was going to have a stroke with his crooked cuts. Whenever I cut drywall I usually cut back to the studs, but this one was borderline cut or patch. Thought he was going to cut a finger off. And get a workbench. What was he cutting on? Microwave or an AV receiver? Spackel? Too large of a hole. Use mud. Especially if you are using tape. Use a taping knife. Wet it to keep material from clumping and dragging across workspace. End result...did it matter, not really. Just pride mainly. Plus I can clean up alot less with a wet sponge instead of sanding. Thanks for the idea though and the bravery of putting this up. Has over a million views so that's quite an accomplishment in itself.
