Repairing Drywall

Repairing Drywall
Ok, so if you are here reading this then it is possible that you have already been working through my other instructable on "How To Create Recessed Shelving" (http://www.instructables.com/id/how-to-create-recessed-shelving/).  

If that is not the case then hopefully this Instructable will still help your with your wall repairs.

Assement...
If you came over from my other Instructable then you cut a hole in your wall, making your cuts be rough, 45 degree angles.  So ideally you should be able to just fit the piece or pieces back into the wall, just like a puzzle.  

If this is not the case then you will have a few extra things you might have to do.  This also depends on the size of your hole.  Smaller holes may not require anything to hold your drywall in place.  Also smaller holes you may not have the drywall from the hole. {It may have fallen into the wall when you punched or kicked it.}

Its alot easier to cut a square hole and put a piece of wood on the backside as a brace. Then cut a fresh piece of drywall or wood the same thickness to fit into the cutout and screw that into place. Then putty and sand. You have a open wall on this one which most people do not.
