Repair a hole in plasterboard or drywall ceiling part one

Whaooo thanks a lot for this video, I just fixed a big hole in my ceiling.

Thanks a lot

Well Done

hey mate i punched a hole in my wall ooooops ..
i was going to put a patch over it then put putty over it then sand it ??? is that the right thing to do ????

There are various methods to fix a hole punched in the wall. Unless there is some backing still in place just filling the hole won't work as the mud (plaster) will just fall out. If it is just indented then filling with cornice cement or basecoat will do the job.

No nails won't work because the blocks are only "floating" on the sheetrock and not fixed to the substate. Therefore screws are the only method of fixing the blocks as shown. If you get a cordless drill with a philips head screw tip and a handful of 25mm screws you will be ok.
