Hey Everybody
Things are going good, very busy with jobs right now. I have the go ahead to do shows at the CNE this summer, 54 1hr shows to be exact. Love doing the shows at the CNE, check out a show or two if you have time.
Below are some picture's from a segment on CH Morning Live. The topic is how to fix a med hole in drywall.
First thing I want to do is cut out the damaged area and make the hole into something square or rectangular. A tip here is to measure the hole and cut the patch first, make it bigger then the actual damaged area. Now place the patch up against the damaged area and using a pencil, mark out the patch on the wall. Now before you cut along the pencil line make sure there is no electrical that you will be cutting into. Use a drywall saw and cut along the pencil line on all 4 sides. You will have to add some backing behind drywall so you have something for the new drywall to screw into. Below you can see the 2x4 stud, beside it you can see the strip of plywood that I added with coarse drywall screws.
I'm not finished here yet, I have backing in the centre and on the right side but nothing on the left side of the patch. If I don't put something here for support then I can expect cracks down the road.

Tomorrow I will show the backing on the left, but I did not use wood for this...
