Fixing a Massive Hole in Drywall

[OnlyPantherFaninMaine]

Well, one of my friends had a few too many drinks the other night and ended up tossing another one of my inebriated friends through a wall in my house at school. The hole is probably a foot wide and a few feet tall, and resembles a body to some extent. I just want to put a Cam FatHead over the hole but that won't suffice for my landlord or my roommates I have a feeling ;)

What are my options?

Toothpaste.

You'll have to cut the hole out with a box cutter from stud to stud and replace with a piece of drywall.

Stuff your dumb friend in the hole, nail him down, and paint over him.

tell your friend to have it fixed immediately

Don't use a box cutter, go buy a keyhole saw from a building supply store for a couple dollars. It's so much easier to use, or if you have access to a sawz-all use that. Cut the drywall out to the center of the closest studs past the hole and replace. Mud the seems...TWICE, sand, paint.

If you want any chance of getting your deposit back I would have your "friend" who did the tossing pay for a professional to come fix it. If you have never done it before, I wouldn't recommend taking on the task. Putting up drywall for the first time is kind of like having sex for the first time. It most likely won't turn out as you planned.

Make sure you get the right thickness of dry wall.

mud, sand, paint....hell just call me i'll fix it for 500 bucks.

My friends won't pay for it. There was already a little hole there and they just made it 10x worse and will refuse to do so.

I'm leaning towards hiring someone to fix it, a professional. How much would this run me?

Not much, as long as you don't let yourself get ass raped, you should be able to find someone to do it for around 100bucks plus materials.

No but floppin is right, shouldn't cost too much for a little job.
