I felt majority of the people that watch vids like this (including me) are trying to repair stuff around the house destroyed by anger. Lol
Amen

Same
Yes ! 🤣
I kicked my toe...😭
Day was going so well, didn’t think I’d end up looking how to fix a hole in a wall.
Saammee
I threw a workout ball at my wall and busted it when I got drunk with some friends now I'm trying to hide it before my mom sees it lol

Miles. Lolz same
Same 😂😂😂😂

kyle
Lmao😂😂
My brother Kyle got angry today after chugging three monsters and I’m glad this video is here
Kyle and the drywall
Never heard of a more “Kyle” thing than that
Good monster
Kyle vs. Drywall. An ancient rivalry as old as time itself.
Second time I have read this about a kyle (here cause another video on drywall)...i have a brother named kyle and I think he was responsible for 95% of the holes in our homes😂😂 never knew this was a Kyle issue..always thought all Kyle's have a douchebag complex though 😂😂
(His drink was mountain dew..and rockstar tho..he does like monsters now lol..)..
Did anyone else come here to see if they could find a way to repair their wall because they punched a hole in it and they don't want their parents to find out? Just me? Okay.
gwif ツ
Put up a poster until you can fix it. Take picture proof before you actually fix it, then show your parents later then they'll think you're super responsible.
me
I thought doing the right thing was telling my dad, but then he hit me
gwif ツ. Me bro
gwif ツ actually something similar me and my sibiling was wrestling and he spearer into the wall we knew we were screwed but decided to look on UA-cam just incase yeah were dead
As a contractor, there’s a few things people should keep in mind when doing this at home.
1. Apply MULTIPLE coats of joint compound. The guy in this video only applies one but in general you should always have at least 2-3 depending on damage.
2. If you are painting the wall after the patch, expect to repaint the entire wall if you want the patch to be unnoticeable. Despite using the exact same paint color, the exact finish will never look the same as the rest of the wall unless you repaint the entire wall.
How much do you usually charge to fix per hole
@Johnny AppleStead im guessing there's allot of additional fees as well
@Johnny AppleStead This video makes it look pretty easy. I'm going to try this on a hole I made on a slanted wall. What brand of joint compound do you recommend? Where do I purchase dry wall? Which grit of sand paper do I use? Can I remove the screws after the process is done?
Also, my walls are a lot thinner than the one in the video. Should I use something other than dry wall, or a different type of dry wall?
@Johnny AppleStead Thanks, you're a lifesaver!
Contractors are sloppy so advice from you is a mistake
Cool thanks! My son just punched a hole in the wall last night so I need to fix it... Later could you post a clip on how to dispose of a teenager's murdered body...:D cheers...
LMAO. THATS WHAT I JUST DID. IM DEAD.
ACACIA LANCASTER me too oops
psydwaindah murdered body can be hidden in forest or thrown in the river.
to bad u couldn't put him in the wall that's where I wanna put my wall puncher
psydwaindah lmbo im here for same reason.
This video should be titled "HOW NOT TO FIX A HOLE IN THE WALL". Just to get things clear; I have been a licensed contractor and tradesman for over 45 years building and renovating homes and building large commercial buildings, I hosted my own radio show on Home repairs on a major station and I hosted a TV show for HGTV so I know a few things about building. What he done will crack and telegraph the outline of the repair...forever. I have seen a lot of repair videos and no-one gets it right.
On to the repair, first thing to do is to cut the paper on the broken pieces and remove them from the wall so you can see what is behind there before you start cutting away. Had he done that he would have discovered the wood stud. Now he should have cut the drywall on both sides so he could anchor the repair piece to the stud. The piece of wood he used as a backer was to thin, the screws will split it. Use a piece of 1x2 or plywood, which will not split. he got the part right about cutting a piece of board and tracing it on the wall to create the hole to be cut out. However after cutting the hole you need to cut the outer edges of the drywall surround the hole on a 45 degree chamfer to get rid of the ragged paper edge and to create a void for the initial filler compound; you will need o chamfer the edges of the repair piece as well.
Once everything is screwed in place, and there is no movement of the piece, then fill in the void you created with the chamfer with taping compound and let it dry. A quick note; it would be better to use compound 20, which is a drywall compound that, as the name implies, dries in 20 minutes and is harder than standard taping compound.
Now comes the MAIN PART of the repair...you have to apply either a paper drywall tape or you a fiberglass tape. We usually use the fiberglass tape for repairs, but I use the paper, because I always have tons of it around. Also buy a 6" wide drywall knife, don't get a cheap one get a good metal one that has good flex to it.
To apply the tape, put a generous layer of drywall compound (called mud in the trade) about 1/4" thick and 4" wide over the joints. Apply the tape and by hand and then flatten it down with the 6" drywall knife (Tip: wet the knife so it doesn't grab the tape). Smooth the tape down and remove all of the excess mud, let it dry and apply 2 to three more thin skim coats, sanding lightly in between (Tip: use a wet sanding block to keep the dust down). Use a 120 grit sandpaper or sanding screen. The last coat should be so smooth you hardly need to sand it.
Apply TWO coats of primer sealer and then paint to match.
I can make this repair in one hour, using compound 20 mixed with some Plaster of Paris to speed up the cure time.
Rene Cantin can you make a video of this?
Make a video please
So honestly. I work in construction as well, and im just curious how you made it 45 years if you’re that easily butthurt
Rene Cantin thanks for the details included. I try to learn from everyone. I am an amateur so appreciate comments from someone with expertise!
Make a video. We all don't like reading a manual
I'm a Maintenance Supervisor for Holiday Inn Express and Suites here in Evanston Wyoming - This is a very quick and efficient repair technic, especially when you can't afford to keep a room out of service for too long (Loss of $$$)
Very kewl - Thanks for sharing
Hey , You NEED to use fiber glass joint tape before adding the mud to the wall or else the joints will crack over time
You are absolutely right. This patch will only look good until the untapped joints crack out.
Yeah, what happened to the tape or mesh because it will crack.
@@markscaplenjr I was wondering the same thing.
If they're filled properly it won't crack for quite some time. I've done many of untapped patches and they're still holding strong.
Yes, that's what's happening to my apartment. The maintenance people seem to have skipped that step
Another way is to put some drywall mesh tape over the hole instead of screwing on a new piece of drywall. Cover the hole with mesh tape and then apply a coat of drywall mud. Let the mud dry overnight and then lightly sand the mud , then apply another coat of mud . After the second coat dries you should be able to sand the mud smooth to the walls surface.
Perfect video. Straight to the point. not like a lot of "how-to" videos where you practically hear the life story of the person performing the job. Just get to it, I say. Background text not required. I bookmarked the vid. Thanks!!
Great video. Short, to the point, illustrates exactly what to do--and a safety reminder as well. Subscribed.
I love how small-time DIY Video Producers are more thorough and accurate (I speak from the vantage point of being a Contractor) than Main-Stream-Media Franchises that are on UA-cam who will remain nameless. ^ Thumbs up Specific Love Creations.
You even included the dangers of the dust! Well done.
who else's fist has entered a wall?
Chris sadly 30 minutes ago lol
kyle
My foot sadly
The wall surrounded my fist
Me
Uh huh well this is a lot more work than I thought it would be so... **Covers hole with a tasteful movie poster** There :)
Shawshank Redemption style
Or in many peoples case any of the Rocky’s.
Great job. I have to do almost exactly what you did on a drywall due to an outside hose bib faucet leak. Even has a stud on the right. I have everything except the long paint stir stick. You will make me look like a professional wall dude to my sister in law!
I really didn't think i was strong enough to punch a hole through the wall yet here i am...
Not Michael Jackson was it a brick wall? Hassan chop
Impressive if it was made of bricks - not so much if it was a dry wall panel! I'm here because my 9yo put mine through.🤣
Same
Lol it make u feel powerful as hell doin it? 😂
If your son's name is Kyle, you're gonna need to know how to fix drywall.
what, why?
I like his method of cutting the replacement piece of drywall first, and measuring the cut hole to that. Other videos have you use a carpenter's square to measure the cut hole and the replacement. His idea is quicker, easier to get accurate, and how many of us have a carpenter's square? Great tip 👍🏾
I followed your instructions and it worked perfectly!!!!
I got pissed punched a hole in my wall and I’m trying to hide it
This is something I didn't know how to do so I've added it to my Home DIY playlist. Thanks!!
Wow, that's actually really helpful. Thank you.
Instructions not clear I got my arm stuck in the dishwasher
This made my day
Better not do that next time👌
Dead meme
See I ended up with my foot in the toilet, what gives?
Okay Okay both of you guys did you pizza before you french fried or french fried after you did a pizza cause your suppose to pizza then french fry and depending on the size of the hole repeat it to the exact size of it
Straight and to the point, very helpful. Thank you!
Thanks a million! I'm moving soon and this is easy a pie to follow! You just solved 4 years of my problems with one video! ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
Thanks!! Huge help! I fixed a hole in our wall I waited months for my husband to HIRE some to do because he didn’t know how! I did it all by myself while he was at work😊 Thanks for posting, you’re awesome!! God bless!!!
Dang.... 3 years ago. Are u still with that man i need to know if getting married is worth it
Any one cine to do it and
Duck you good
@@joserodriguez-yh4fb bro lmao what
I feel very relieved that I’m not the only one who’s here cause of anger lmfaoooo
This method does work. The only thing I would change would be to apply joint tape to the cracks between the old dry wall and new drywall square. It may allow you to apply one layer of mud instead of having to go over a second time just to fill the cracks. Simply a time saver.
I love your video, fast and clear not like another bunch of videos that take 20 minutes talking.
so to fix a hole i have to make an even bigger hole :(
Kyle Hayley i know right god bless you 💕
unless u punch a perfect square
Kyle Hayley "Things get worse before they get better."
watch tutorials on cutting drywall and sinking drywall screws and you should really screw the drywall on at least two far sides of it not just in the middle. this guy is totally unspecific on these points
Martin Noren your profile pic says it all 😂
Good instruction, thanks.
I did exactly what it said in the video and I saw the other, to apply 2 to 3 layers of joint compound and I did that and it turned out beautifully. You guys should assemble a video catalog of “how to”videos!
Where would you get a mini wall
Or just fix it with RAMEN NOODLES 😂😂
I just pressed my foot against the wall too hard when sitting at my desk.
strong feet. lol
Same.
same
The comments are purely more entertaining to read through than the actual video. Priceless
Good tip on the ad-lib materials to use I appreciated it and I liked it
I feel like this was the best tutorial I found. Very helpful. Thank you! I hope I can find the materials.
Looked this up, after just coming out of a game of League

Thank you so much! I have never done anything like this before, and thanks to you, I looked like a pro!
Thank you so much! This was super easy to understand 🙏🏽
3,713 people (looks like) with anger management issues have found this video helpful, Thank you :D I recently punched a hole in the wall of my apartment knowing someone had stolen my bike... just outside my window.
sorry to hear about your bike
Thanks, yeah in all seriousness I should have locked up my bike, even if it was during the two hour period of being outside. Lesson learned there. :)
I threw a baseball and i kinds threw it too hard (for fun) so now im dead
Having you ever punched a hole in the wall and hit a 2x4. Ouch
So I’m here cause I just threw my little brother in the wall and now there’s a big whole
😂😂😂
Thank you so much! What a time saver. Worked like a charm!
Any tips on what to use to fill up the hole instead of using a patch (as the metal shows through, sanding just exposes it) ? The hole is just under 3" and about 3" in depth. Its a small door knob hole. DryDex stuff just isn't cutting it. Thank you.
I punched my wall and I had to fix it before my parents got home, what I did was the part that got punched and is pushed in the wall, I took it out than cleaned it up and broke 1 paint stick to two halves that I screwed them inside like he did, than I put the pice of drywall and screwed it to the paint sticks and then I looked everywhere and luckily I found some plaster putty and filled the cracks then let it dry. That sand it down a bit. If you have paint pain it I painted mine and it came out perfect 👌
my mom through something at me n I moved back really quick...making a whole with my elbow...im soooo scared she'll think I did it on purpose :(
just what I needed. good job
Thanks bud. The mesh is good for people unfamiliar with tools but this was a life saver for a clean finish from a tradie with the know how to get it done right 👌
I just kneed a mosquito on the wall, so this is pretty helpful
I have punched hole in my whole apartment so I have some work to do.... I play to much video games if you wonder.
I did the same thing lol. I have to fix it before I move out or athey will charge me.
+Lu Bu I kick a hole in my room because I got really pissed at my relatives :( gonna try to fix it right now
LordSad Oml same but how doe LOL
I punched two holes in the wall because I was pissed at my siblings and now my dad is making me fix it
emily flores wow. you are strong for a woman.
thank you for the video. 7 years later and still helpful!
Haha nice i gotta wake up and do this for a paying client tomorrow for the 1st time in mylife. Ive helped people on hanging drywall and have done some taping and puttying myself but have yet to fix a hole. Great Video 👍
heres a better idea! cover it with a poster.
like Shawshank
Super Nito then one day you will have to take it down
Yasuo Oce yea and sadly that day has come for me😭... its been two years now 😂😂😂😭😭
Bright Smile like an old friend, the hole in the wall greeted you, "so you've finally come back, I've been waiting for you..."
the kneebreaker lol 😂😂😂
This comes in handy. I just punched a hole in my wall after slamming my finger in the dishwasher. I know, I seem crazy. But thats my first reaction to pain is to beat things
Your video is super helpful, Thank you!
WOW! That was great to see. Thanks!
been suffering from depression my entire life, no matter what i do nothing works for me in life. couldn't take it anymore and punched a hole in the wall.
hope you’re feeling better
my mixtape burnt down my house... how do you make a house?

Inspector Hulk316 did they ever find out.
Thanks! For sharing the knowledge
I appreciate that you got straight to the point
Rocket league brought me here.
Same, brother, same
Close to same brother close to same
Did it work?
@@gr8vibezz375 Buy the Erase A Hole product, It’s way better. It’s 10 dollars and on amazon.
Where does that new square came from!?
What if the hole is in my room, where am I going to sleep if I cant smell it, not really helpful
Great stuff. Very good example. Thanks.
thank you for the video.....as always, very good. thanks for sharing.
Alot of Kyle's will be watching this
I've noticed that small 2 or 3 minute videos are better for me. the long 10+ minute videos have me like 😪😪
excellent, thank you... woman doing my home repair!
Thanks, I needed this
My wife is going to be so pissed when she sees that there's a small hole in the bathroom. Damn my anger
Who else kicked your wall and it broke
Im dead
Yeah
They tend to do that when you kick them...
I did it with my head
"I fell " and my elbow went threw the wall.
Helped alot thanks!
great stuff! about to try on my own now thank you.
Walls in U.S. built with a carton. Lol
Paper walls like that - never wonder why your houses can't pass hurricane
tape is also needed, or it will crack
I punched multiple holes in my wall. So many that it’s about 1/3 of the whole wall what should I use then
Saved me a lotta work last night...thanks!
Time to quit TeamFortress 2
My fist just went right through my wall right behind my bed. I'm going to cover it up by saying i banged my head into it lying down too fast because the hole is in the perfect spot.
Lmaoo
AWSOME, CLEAR AND CONCISE, THANK YOU.
This was really good. A lot of other vid's and folks use the paper portion, which quite frankly takes longer and forces you to use more mud and paint.
thanks
I live in a stone house and all of my walls are alright. I have 70 pages to read and an essay to write. What am I doing with my life?
My life in a nutshell
better to be prepared
my sister irl
my mom made me mad and so when she went to go get my brother from school I started throwing everything in the room around and I threw something into the wall making a hole...I have anger issues...
So do I, just slammed my fist because i felt my mom was being unfair and next thing I know my hand was inside my wall
super helpful thanks man!!
Excellent informative video!
Great video.......saved me a lot of $$ and I finished the job faster than it took me to find a "potential" drywall repairman ONLINE!!!
Many Thanks!!!
how much did it all cost?
I needed this because I put my head through a wall
Ummmm.........
Whu
Awesome sauce. Magician.👌
Thanks for sharing!
What if the hole is about 1 foot long?
Thats a 1 foot long hole spiders can come in through
Haha, looks like I won’t be paying the big bucks for this water damage after all
Thanks for the video!!!
Good info to know! Thanks for sharing the tips!
