Two Kids Repair a Large Hole In Drywall

As seen at http://drywallinfo.com - Two kids age 11 & 12, as part of their 4H project, repair a large hole in a drywall panel. They mark out a square around the damage, cut it out, attach nailers, and then cut out and attach a repair piece. They do a great job!

Thank you for these great videos. I have saved your website for future reference. Thanks again and keep up the good work. In a few years your kids will be able to make a killing over the summer's between school years if they aren't doing it already.

Love the way you are teaching your kids responsibility and skills that will be useful throughout their lives. Wish more parents would teach their kids such skills instead of pick up the phone and order. Great job young men and dad.

Fantastic! I will use this as a guide as well as sharing it with my grandsons when they are bit older. You teach your kids with such patience and skill. Thank you for your wonderful parenting!

advice needed, we recently purchased a house but there are about 12in x 12in holes in the walls between the studs (some kindda of wall safe by previous owners). i saw your video and its a good solution.. though what do you think of Bear Claw wall repair? I am also thinking of just extending the hole 1/2 in from each side and using the studs... i can appreciate ur opinion.. btw, those kids can do better job than me :D.. great parenting...

Thanks you for your video,it will really help me to fix some wall with the good technique. If a kid can do it, everyone can :D

instead of buying and attaching 2x2s you should just cut the drywall back so about 1/2" of the original wood is exposed so you can place a new sheet rock there and nail around the edges entering the wood...just a $ saving technique..just as solid.
