A Drywall Repair, Start to Finish

The job started with a wire that needed to run through a stairwell wall. That meant opening drywall in a spot that's hard to miss if it's not put back right.

Day one was cutting the access, running the wire, and getting the first coat of mud on. Day two was sanding, a second coat where it needed it, and priming the patch so it's ready for the homeowner's painter to match the wall color.

Nothing about this job was complicated. What matters is that the seams don't show once it's painted, and that the homeowner wasn't living with an open wall for a week. Two days, cut to primed.
