Answer 2

Some folks!
This isn't as hard as it looks to read it. It is a very good skill to have. The hardest part is getting a piece of dry wall without buying an entire sheet. You might check around houses that are being built-- they throw away pieces the size you'll need. I suggest two or more pieces just in case-- you know, one to use, one to use if the first use didn't.
There is a right and wrong side to dry wall.
My preferred method--

get drywall saw (you can use a knife but they're cheap)
get piece of drywall the same thickness as the wall-- measure!
get mud bucket and tape
get spatula for mud spreading
sand screen and a block of wood
one headless nail
heavy string-- Garden string will work.

Use saw to enlarge hole angling the cut so it's wider inside and narrower on the surface you are looking at. I usually make it square.
Cut a piece of dry wall to match your hole-- don't forget the angle.
Make a hole in the center of the patch piece,
Tie string on to nail.
Push nail thru the hole with the string outside in front of you...Place patch inside hole HOLDING ONTO STRING.
Pull string to check fit of the new piece of dry wall-- make it as close as you can-- will save trouble later.
When you are happy with the fit-- hold the string ( a third hand is good here)- and mud the joining drywall in a swipe with mud on the joint. Apply the mud tape continuing to hold the string tight- mud over the tape-- still with tight string. When you have covered the joint to your satisfaction-- tie the string to something to hold the new piece tight ( a broom). Wait 24 hours or so. Screen sand using block of wood with screen wrapped around wood ---the joint with the string still tight-- re mud if necessary, wait 24 hours. Screen sand again. If all is OK, cut the string and let the nail pull the short string into the wall-- mud the center hole-- sand after dry and there you are.
It is good to prime the raw dry wall before painting.

Answer 3

If you want to replace a door knob hole, it is fairly self explanitory, you just remove the safety spring mounted on the baseboard and slam the door into the wall with as much force as possible.

Answer 4

go to lowes, ask for a "hole repair wire mesh" small bucket of compound mud, and u will need a sheetrock knife or a putty knife if u have one:

get the mesh 1" or so larger than the hole. apply per instructions. apply ur first coat of mud. wait until COMPLETLY dry and apply another coat but make this coat and 1" or so larger than the first and try and make the mud very thin at the edges. let dry. light sand, and apply a 3 coat. then sand again.

remember less is best when appling mud. and less sanding is best. u want to flare the edges of the mud 1 to 2 inches on corners of the patch.

Answer 5

You must mean "repair" , right? cause you wouldn't put a doorknob in drywall. I mean you COULD , but using the knob would eventually wear out the drywall and make it loose, .....nevermind , i'm starting to confuse myself...
