As a "retired" cabinet maker, I can tell you that most everyone in the business thinks Bob Vila is a total dickhead. He's rude and obnoxious. Some poor carpenter gets his 10 seconds on television and Bob cuts him off in mid sentence to say "Well, thanks there Sluggo, let's go to a commercial..." Hey Bob, pick up a fucking piece of lumber once in a while instead of standing there with your hands in your pockets. Dickhead...

Now that I have adequately bashed Bob Vila, it's a simple fix. If you're moving you might get some of that mesh tape to put over the hole and then spackle over it. It won't be the best fix ever, but it'll last until you sell the place. If you want to get fancy, you can cut the half dollar sized hole into a bigger square hole, and get some wood behind it. What you do is get a strip of wood and put it into the hole and then hold it up against the inside of the sheet rock so that you can run some screws through and hold it in place. Then you've got something as backing material. Cut a piece of sheetrock to match the opening, smear some spackle on the edges and smush it all into place. Then keep spackling until you can't tell which is the wall and which was the hole. Ah, fuck it... use the mesh tape, it's a whole lot easier.



edit: looks like everyone typed faster than I did. Maybe I shouldn't have spent so much time bashing poor old Bob. heh...

you bashed bob villa? whos next, Matlock?
