Anyone who has ever had drywall in their house knows that eventually a door will get slammed open; a piece of furniture smacked against the wall, or some other incident will create a gouge, a hole or a scratch in the drywall that must be fixed. When those times happen, get out your tools and get to work: there’s no need to hire a contractor to come in and patch your drywall, it’s a relatively easy fix that you can handle yourself!
>
The first thing you’ll need are a few essentials to handle the job right:
-A drywall repair kit.
-Clean tin can lid.
-Tape measure.
-Keyhole saw.
-Thin wire or string.
-Scissors or wire cutters.
-Scrap wood.
-Putty knife.
-Drywall patching compound.
-Sandpaper.
-Primer and paint.
-Paintbrushes.
The easiest way to fix any drywall repair project is to purchase a drywall repair kit from your local home improvement store. Be sure you measure the hole that needs fixed and buy the appropriate kit for the job. For example, a drywall patch for a ceiling is thicker than one for a wall.
Once you’re ready to begin, remove any loose paper or plaster around the edges of the hole, then apply drywall patch, following the manufacturer’s instructions.
To make a repair to a small drywall hole without a kit, follow these instructions:
Step 1:
Prepare tin can lid that is at least 11/2 inches more in diameter than hole in drywall for backing piece. Use keyhole saw to cut out narrow horizontal slit in wall on each side of hole. Measurement of hole plus both narrow slits should equal diameter of lid so you can insert lid sideways into hole.
Step 2:
Use awl to punch two holes in center of lid. Thread 12-inch piece of wire or string through holes.
Step 3:
Holding ends of wire, slide lid through slit. Still holding wire, pull lid toward you until it’s flat against inside of wall. Can lid should be held firmly against inside of wall.
Step 4:
Use putty knife to apply premixed drywall patching compound over patch following manufacturer’s instructions. Pack the compound into the hole, keeping it inside. Do not spread it on wall surface. Leave patch slightly low, and don’t try to level it. Let patch dry until it turns bright white, typically at least 24 hours. When dry, cut string or wire and remove stick.
Step 5:
To finish patch, fill it completely with more patching compound to make patch level with wall surface. Let dry, lightly sand area, prime, and paint.

IKEA..
They just opened a big Ikea last year, and its the best place to find cheap furniture….You can also try the Salvation Army, I think there is one on Decatur or Marietta Street, and they have furniture there…As for building materials, I think the best place to go for that is always Home Depot and Lowes.
dude, you own! this looks identical to a photograph
Awesome work Williamsshamir
Great video.
Much love Kat
it depends on what the varnish is based on water based varnish dries quicker oil based varnish will take up to 24 hours.
it also depends on the climate warm weather faster setting cold would be slower
check the tin for guidelines
A-W-E-S-O-M-E your works is very awesome! cool!!!! very good
I always do research before I hire anyone to do work for me whether it be for my businesses, rentals, automotive repairs or around the house. I check out automotive repair shops to see whether they are AAA approved or if there are any complaints against them registered with the Better Business Bureau. Besides checking the BBB, I check out contractors to see whether their license numbers are legitimately registered with our state licensing board. (You'd be surprised at how many "contractors" use bogus license numbers. Our state maintains a website that makes it easy to check them out.) I also make certain that contractors are bonded, have insurance and worker's compensation. I try to make sure that they don't hire illegal aliens, but that is getting to be more difficult. I always ask for references and examples of their work. When I recently hired a painting contractor, I physically drove to the addresses they gave me, spoke to their clients and inspected their work. Also, I always ask for an estimate, get at least three bids and a written contract. It really is the contract that protects you legally.
Heres a list of furniture stores in Utah and the second link is to a furniture clearance place…that might be the one
I quickly glanced over the sites you listed..I think the second one would be most helpful for the average person and the first and third are useless…the last one..well..you can get this advice here from people..I don't think looking for a site that offers both home improvement and decorating is realistic as these are two very different subjects. If you want professional advice, then hire a professional..you get what you pay for. Being a freelance writer, I think you should be able to draw upon your own views.
Only your mortgage instrest is tax deductable.
If you use a portion of your home for business purposes, you may be able to take a home office deduction whether you are self-employed or an employee. Expenses that you may be able to deduct for business use of the home may include the business portion of real estate taxes, mortgage interest, rent, utilities, insurance, depreciation, painting and repairs.
You can claim this deduction for the business use of a part of your home only if you use that part of your home regularly and exclusively:
* As your principal place of business for any trade or business
* As a place to meet or deal with your patients, clients or customers in the normal course of your trade or business
Generally, the amount you can deduct depends on the percentage of your home that you used for business. Your deduction will be limited if your gross income from your business is less than your total business expenses.
If you use a separate structure not attached to your home for an exclusive and regular part of your business, you can deduct expenses related to it.
If you are self-employed, use Form 8829 to figure your home office deduction and report those deductions on line 30 of Schedule C, Form 1040. There are special rules for qualified daycare providers and for persons storing business inventory or product samples.
If you are an employee, you have additional requirements to meet. The regular and exclusive business use must be for the convenience of your employer.
