How to Patch Drywall

Knowing how to patch drywall could be one of the smartest skill sets you learn.

You might feel unnerved by the site of damaged ceilings or walls, but the price to have them repaired by a pro somehow outweighs this inconvenience.

Years ago I paid about $600 for a 5 by 5 foot section of ceiling to be replaced. While I was grateful to my contractor it definitely hurt the wallet.

For some reason I thought that patching the ceiling was out of my DIY league. That said, I also knew that having the audacity to challenge myself in the art of drywalling would come in handy. Not to mention save me some major dinero.

And I was right more than once.

It’s painfully obvious: water and drywall don’t play nicely. Yet for some reason they seem to always mix it up like two school yard kids arguing over who’s got the coolest shoes.

In today’s brand new Home Repair Tutor episode, you’ll learn how to patch drywall and discover several tips that will lead you to a successful project.

Maybe, just maybe, this will be your first step toward that dream bathroom or swanky bedroom. Taking a leap of faith is tough but once you realize you can fly, your entire world changes.
