Averting Disaster: How to Fix a Hole in Your Wall

 

 One of the last room’s in the house to decorate is the guest room upstairs.  This guest room will serve a dual purpose as a library since we needed a home for our remaining bookcases.  Further on down the road, this will be our first child’s room.   However, our plans for this room were interrupted by a small repair issue earlier this year.  Our rambunctious nieces and nephews got into some type of wrestling match and knocked a hole in the wall!  One of the children fell into the wall precisely between two beams, which is the weakest part of the wall.  Fortunately, my father can fix anything.  Here are some step by step instructions to fix a dent or a hole in your wall.
