    There is a small hole in my wall that looks pretty bad. Called a drywall right? I dont want to call a repair guy and have him charge me a million dollars. Anyone have any ideas? Its about a 6 inch diameter. Any do-it-yourself kits I can pick up from Home Depot or something?

    One of the easiest things you can do. All yo have to do fill it with some drywall putty, spray some texture on it, and paint it. If it is too big for the putty, you may have to patch it with another piece of drywall. There are pages all over the web on how to do it.

    Hang a painting over it.

    Did you punch a hole in the wall again?

    Rockbox thanks for the link. I'll go to Home D tomorrow and pick up all that crap.

    This wall is like lower to the ground so it would look very weird if hang a painting down there. No I did not punch another whole in the wall R104. Something just as stupid though.

    Look in a mirrow and see what you saw. Take the saw and cut the hole into two halves. Then you don't have a hole anymore.

    I appreciate the repair tips too. My husband kicked a hole in the garage wall a while back. :mad:

    If you want a quick fix stuff the hole with newspaper then go grab some quick dry puddy at the hardware store. Paint as usual you'll never know the difference. ;)
