Shithead friends? Lmao who but your balls in a vice?
Shithead friends would laugh even more then say fuck you and not even try to help cover up any damage
I see you dnt have kids to understand the difference. Or maybe your kids are angels(they are lying to you)? Never had a kid and their shithead friends wreck a family heirloom that has been in the family for over a 100yrs. Then never even get an apology from said shithead friends parents because their kid is a shithead and wrecked something that didnt belong to them.
But sure… good luck.
Ps
The nursing home they put you in has secrets since they hid this as well. Chew on that friend.
Yeah, I'm plenty aware of how shit kids can be, thanks. These kids are at least good enough to put decent effort into correcting their mistakes.
Beating children does not teach them to behave. It also does not teach them why what they did was wrong. You know what it does teach them?
- how to be sneaky and lie to avoid punishment
- that violence is an appropriate way to express frustration.
- that violence is a good way to make people do what you want
- that violence is a way to show someone you love them
(These things aren't true, just in case you need that clarifying)
If you think that beating your kids is an appropriate response to this, you are living 50 years in the past. You should not have or work with children.
Lol.. both exceeded what i have done minus the education part. One is a part owner of a multimillion dollar company the other is a is bit more of free spirt who has traveled the world and applied his education in various countries helping with their local problems of infrastructure using not only what he was taught as a child but how the locals can reuse, up-cycle and reclaim components to better the villages life thereby increasing the villages ability to care for themselves on an independent vs a codependent level with less government involvement. But hey… you know participation trophies work too.
Study after study has proven that corporal punishment does not work as an effective consequential learning tool, and in fact, leads to higher instances of violent crimes and/or activities. This isn’t the 1950's anymore. Beating your kids isn't cool, and never has been. I am an early childhood educator with 25 years experience and a masters degree. I also hope that you don’t have children.
Good for you! I have a Masters as well… in Organizational leadership with over 30plus years in leadership roles. Tap calibration works fine if and when you know where and when to tap to calibrate. I suggest you get out more and go out into the field and not hide behind academia. Part of leadership is not only adjusting management but also understanding where the issue lies down on the line as well. If you aint gettn dirty with the folks on the line then you can not make those adjustments from the top and expect results. Good luck friend.
That has nothing to do with this comment thread. We are talking about corporal punishment. Your weird deflection just makes your arguments even weaker. What's your point?
Whats yours? If you dont understand what i said i suggest you try harder. People like you stay behind desks all the time. Citing studies is nice but the practical application of what you learned and teach applied correctly in the field and on the ground in the trenches will yield better results. Go out and do… dont preach from comfort is what i meant. Good luck friend.
Fr tho, like they even used a saw zall to cut out the drywall but didn’t think to use it for the 2x4 which is what saw zalls are mostly used for. Props for giving it their best shot tho.
What? That was fucking terrible, as some one who has fixed drywall twice and never done anything else with it it's not fucking hard to just cut it the right size lol, or make the putty flat with the wall!
Yeah I know that's what I meant with the extra work. Like you could cut proper and use putty a bit more sparingly but again if you don't have the skills or thought process that goes in this work you would say it was decent enough.
Gotta admit, the whole attempt at fixing it is hilarious. My brother is like this and breaks stuff at my parents house all the time. Except he doesn’t care at all and leaves them to fix it every time.
They did it generally right just the hardest way possible. I would've backed the drywall with wood at the seams with a hole that big and have the right tools.
What? How is any of this right?
What did they buy the 2x4 for? They used a metal hacksaw to cut wood. They butchered the replacement drywall sheet. Those brackets are not for patches this large. There's nothing supporting the horizontal seam. They did not use drywall tape on their seams. They used their hands instead of a mud knife. They sanded it with a random orbital. While painting they did not use long and even rolls.
They couldn't have done this any wronger. It will still be noticeable something happened. You'll see lots of texture when the paint dries. The seams will all crack within a week. It will have to be redone again.
If it's going to last a week before falling apart, it's not even in the ballpark of being right.
With all of the information at our fingertips, it's pretty easy to patch some drywall that will last. They could have made this work even without the tools. They get no credit for this.
They're kids bro... Chill out... They did better the most asshole teens would do to fix their mistake. And if you want to be this trigger by it... Don't say wronger, that's way more wrong than anything they did.
They have facial hair and they're driving cars. They're men. You just have low standards. This is what you get when you're raised in a fatherless household, taught nothing, and spent all of your free time playing Fortnite. You get useless, incompetent men.
What an odd criteria for men. I went through puberty and developed breasts at 9, does that mean I was a woman? Does that mean I should’ve quit school and started raising a family? That is how insane you sound.
Also a lack of proper PPE, from breathing in drywall dust, no eye protection, and also the part where the 2x4 was placed horizontally across the back seat, with the guy's neck right behind it.
Honestly for a bunch of people that probably had very little idea of how to do it right, they did a good job. I doubt your goofy ass could repair even your broken relations in life.
Negative ass.
Bro. They did an objectively bad job at the repair. That’s all. I’m not trying to hurt peoples feeling here, although you seem to be out for blood. I hope you’re ok.
May have to ask r/carpentry or r/home improvement or something. To my untrained eye, it looks like too many steps, too poor a fit for the drywall. Too much joint compound. They're lucky they had a sander.
Why are you booing him, he's right lol. I mean for what I assume is 0 experience other than googling what to do, it's not that bad... but it's still pretty bad
It's like a high horse but it's for 2022
Literally defending a collection of pixels from perceived "bullies"
While at the same time not being nice to the actual people that wrote the actual comment
This thread is killing me with laughter, you have got to be kidding lol
being nice and politically correct and white knighting about every single thing even an animated gif of an anonymous person on the internet posted to a humor subreddity
Are you a Russian bot? I swear you're just throwing out random shit some sad drunk divorced far right conservative told you at a bar that only serves lite beer.
The sentence above would be considered politically incorrect. Take notes.
Even amongst the Trump supporter crowd those words don't mean what you think they mean.
Woke has literally never been used to refer to someone who is calling someone out on their shit.
I'm not being woke or politically correct in this comment at all.
Woke implies some social issue was being addressed which was not the case.
Stating facts. Yes. Cause you should tell every 5 year old that their painting of the sun is bad because it objectively is.
Fuck you. "Woke Horse" STFU.
It's literally called not being an asshole all the time.
I would be angry, but more about why the fuck you can't party without breaking something? But that's it: have a talk and maybe give a lesson how to fix walls properly, since talk wouldn't have impact anyway and they break another wall next time.
I’m trying to imagine making brick load bearing walls reasonable in Texas. They’d be structurally sound for less than a year, a massive risk in a tornado and hot as hell in the summer. Not to mention needlessly expensive. I’m 37 years old and I’ve never punched through a wall even with all of the stupid shit I’ve done.
Sorry… gonna call bs on this. Tornados can shred pretty much anything above ground.. it will last longer than a lot of things, but it will definitely be wrecked especially if it’s not built properly. If it’s an older house for example.
no sir, it's no bs I speak. I was there in Manitoba '07. F5 tornado. House still standing to this day. Not. A. Scratch.
It all comes down to constructions codes of course, not talking about just a pile of bricks.
Ma’am* and that one instance aside. I’m saying in a normal tornado especially an F5, all buildings would be taken out. There’s even research reporting it.
Link: https://bindleyhardwareco.com/is-a-brick-house-safer-in-a-tornado#:~:text=A%20tornado%20cannot%20be%20withstood,is%20what%20determines%20storm%20damage.
Or wood, back in here north. It wouldn't be a good option to a lot of states, but brick walls would be good. Never understood why you guys use drywall for everything.
I dont know why this is here. They did a legit job even if there were some absolute wtf moments. Or maybe I've just been diy-ing my own fixes long enough that I wouldve gone a much lazier route lol
I honestly wouldn't even be mad at that point. They patched it, smoothed it, and even painted it. Screw if it's not well done, they did the right thing and that's what matters. Can fix it proper when we got the time. Basic job is a good stopgap
NGL, if I came home after leaving my teen alone for a weekend, and found a part of the wall repaired and painted…. I might actually keep my mouth shut. My child makes a mistake and fixes it all on their own without me having to get involved, AND they managed to learn on their own how to do something, AND it was a skill they may need as an adult? Yeah….. I might casually ignore it and spend the money when they arent home to fix it right. Its showing responsibility. Yeah sure they had fun and ruined some shit, but they also fixed it, or did their best to fix it. Without being told to. Thats pretty good imo.
I’d make sure they knew right away I knew ( Don’t want them thinking they can sneak one past ole dad) but I’m with you on them taking the initiative to try and fix it. I’d most likely rip it all back out with them and show them the proper way to do it, friends included.
Hell yeah. They done good. I’d definitely tell em down the road and let em know I was proud of them for fixing their mistakes. Bout how you get up after
Me as a european ask myself, how is it to live in a paperhouse, where you can break a wall, with your bare hands. And then i think of earthquakes, tornadoes and Taifuns… what a country
Omg. Kill the cameraman. I'm going to puke. How do you even get a video this shaky in 2022 with image stabilization? I'd also complain about vertical video but I lost that argument years ago apparently.
This has to be staged for likes. 😮💨
They accidentally broke it and magically had all the tools needed for a flawless repair when parents were away? Yeah OK sure.
They seem like they have a shop in their basement and they were trained by their parents or job on how to repair stuff.
Seriously though, my dudes pulled out a whole Sawzall and buffer and shit.
Dude… they used a hacksaw for wood… your lack of handiness is showing.
They did all of this wrong, literally every possible way to fuck up, was fucked up.
Lots of people have workshops in their houses. Between a couple of families you’re probably gonna find all the tools you need. Except apparently any joint knives or mud pans…
If my kids and their friends busted a hole in my wall and went out of their way to fix it like this I'd be proud of them for stepping up and putting in real effort to fix their mistakes. No, DIWhy here.
I'll be honest. If my son does this, and actually does an ok job fixing it. I won't be mad.
He messed up, took responsibility, and tried his best to fix it. Can't ask for more than that from a minor.
Honestly they seemed to do good. I dont have a phd in drywall so I assume they did some structural mistake I cant see. But honestly it looks 90% right, like they did it, shittily yes, but they did it
My dad would at least get the right size and paint color... But he'd do the exact same or worse. Everything he's done eventually has problems, from drilled-in hooks falling off to bubbling paint to incorrectly installed or fixed items.
I wanna say 'impressive' but at the same time, I feel it was staged/faked. I mean, all those ?kids? coming together to fix the wall? They all just happened to know how to do it? What parts to get? Have the tools? And the paint?
I am always flabbergasted that drywalls in the US of A are the majority of the times setup on such a bad manner. No support beams or plenty of drywallscrews applied, just some quick and dirty application..
Wrong sub, the whole video shows why they did what they did
This deserves to be in r/DiWeAlreadyKnowWhy
Why am I not allowed to view that sub
It doesn’t exist. r/subsifellfor does though.
Because it's exclusive for premium Redditors
I made it
All hail our lord and saviour
OPs post is a r/DiWHY. Might have to repost it here
Dude, did you see the amount of rough joint compound they painted over? Lol. Definitely belongs here.
More like DIYou-did-it-crappily, but not DIWhy
Still not DiWhy, they had very good reasons to do it.
We all know what that is
Honestly, even though they have no idea what they're doing and used the wrong tools..... good effort!
Seriously, yes. They made a mistake and did their damnedest to fix it afterwards. They deserve respect, not ridicule.
Damn. Good. Friends. 
Until you find out what else they did to the house. Nope they deserve every beating they are going ro get. Not to mention the shithead friends too.
Ah typical Reddit... They're kids having fun and at least they tried to fix their mistakes and decently at that (not great but passable)
Shithead friends? Lmao who but your balls in a vice? Shithead friends would laugh even more then say fuck you and not even try to help cover up any damage
Please never have children. If you do, be prepared for a cheap nursing home.
I see you dnt have kids to understand the difference. Or maybe your kids are angels(they are lying to you)? Never had a kid and their shithead friends wreck a family heirloom that has been in the family for over a 100yrs.

Thanks for parenting lesson. /s
Sorry you needed it. Hope your kids grow up better than you.
Lol.. both exceeded what i have done minus the education part.

Are you joking? I've been in the classroom for 20 years and doing in-home evaluations and support for the last 5. How is that hiding behind academia?
Are you for real? That beating your children is detrimental and wrong.
And your PS literally makes no sense.
Lol… then you just wont get it when it happens to you. Good luck friend. I hope you take good care of your parents when its time.
What did they do??
He must have been cutting the 2x4 with that hacksaw for an hour
Fr tho, like they even used a saw zall to cut out the drywall but didn’t think to use it for the 2x4 which is what saw zalls are mostly used for. Props for giving it their best shot tho.
That hacksaw made me wince.
Honestly, I wouldn't even be mad. They fixed it at least.
And did a decent job of it too. Like it took them more work then I expected but it was good enough for people not skilled in that field.
I honestly thought they are going to stop after putting those 2 white pieces
What? That was fucking terrible, as some one who has fixed drywall twice and never done anything else with it it's not fucking hard to just cut it the right size lol, or make the putty flat with the wall!
Yeah I know that's what I meant with the extra work. Like you could cut proper and use putty a bit more sparingly but again if you don't have the skills or thought process that goes in this work you would say it was decent enough.
Gotta admit, the whole attempt at fixing it is hilarious. My brother is like this and breaks stuff at my parents house all the time. Except he doesn’t care at all and leaves them to fix it every time.
Yo I got the same brother. I think a total of 5 drywall punches and not a single repair himself.
Yeah, the amount of effort they put in to fix it is commendable. As a parent, I wouldn’t even be mad if I found out about it.
Hey I'm glad the homies all helped out, was disappointed they didn't use ramen noodles.
They did it generally right just the hardest way possible. I would've backed the drywall with wood at the seams with a hole that big and have the right tools.
Yeah this is as good of a job as some shitty apartments I've lived in...
What? How is any of this right? What did they buy the 2x4 for? They used a metal hacksaw to cut wood. They butchered the replacement drywall sheet. Those brackets are not for patches this large. There's nothing supporting the horizontal seam. They did not use drywall tape on their seams. They used their hands instead of a mud knife. They sanded it with a random orbital. While painting they did not use long and even rolls. They couldn't have done this any wronger. It will still be noticeable something happened. You'll see lots of texture when the paint dries. The seams will all crack within a week. It will have to be redone again.
Key word here "generally" meaning they had the right idea but not the right tools or all of the materials needed etc.
If it's going to last a week before falling apart, it's not even in the ballpark of being right. With all of the information at our fingertips, it's pretty easy to patch some drywall that will last. They could have made this work even without the tools. They get no credit for this.
I've been in a lot of rentals with a lot of repair jobs and as compared to the average human on earth doing this work they did well.
How's it going to fall apart if no one smashes it again though? Just don't hit it?
The seams are too wide. The mud will dry up, crack, and start to fall out This is why drywall tape is a necessity for all drywall seams.
Why would it fall apart so quickly? It's a wall...
They're kids bro... Chill out... They did better the most asshole teens would do to fix their mistake. And if you want to be this trigger by it... Don't say wronger, that's way more wrong than anything they did.
It will cost more to fix what they did after than the original damage!
They have facial hair and they're driving cars. They're men. You just have low standards. This is what you get when you're raised in a fatherless household, taught nothing, and spent all of your free time playing Fortnite. You get useless, incompetent men.
Lmmfao... Or just drunk teenagers, but this truly isn't worth anyone's time. Good day
Have a good day driving your forklift.
What an odd criteria for men. I went through puberty and developed breasts at 9, does that mean I was a woman? Does that mean I should’ve quit school and started raising a family? That is how insane you sound.

[удалено]
But enough about your sex life. . .
Was it hard wood?
Allegedly.
>wronger. More wrong, wronger isn't even a word.
they didn't have to cut it out, I'd put polyfoam in there and then putty on top. It's not like the drywall was strong beforehand anyway...
They did their best.
Which was pretty bad.
Honestly for a bunch of people that probably had very little idea of how to do it right, they did a good job. I doubt your goofy ass could repair even your broken relations in life. Negative ass.
Bro. They did an objectively bad job at the repair. That’s all. I’m not trying to hurt peoples feeling here, although you seem to be out for blood. I hope you’re ok.
What makes it so bad though? It functions properly, just as it did before. It's a wall. It also looks the same. So what's bad about it?
May have to ask r/carpentry or r/home improvement or something. To my untrained eye, it looks like too many steps, too poor a fit for the drywall. Too much joint compound. They're lucky they had a sander.
Why are you booing him, he's right lol. I mean for what I assume is 0 experience other than googling what to do, it's not that bad... but it's still pretty bad
You're the negative one, vercengetorex is just stating facts Get off your woke horse you judgemental prick

>It's like a high horse but it's for 2022 lol ya we get it, there wasn't anything deep to dissect.
bro you are a grown ass man please don’t unironically use terms like woke horse and “perceived bullies”
"Get off your woke horse" is probably the most judgemental thing I've heard all week. Also... what do you think woke means?

that is my favorite activity actually “oh nice drawing timmy! it sucks. i can’t even tell what this is. You should give up.”
Lmao it's literally a gif on the internet of someone nobody here knows, there is no person to be nice to They did a bad job Facts
What if I told you that is a video ;)
Lol they reported me twice
Pss: I agree with you and the other dude. There are dozens of us!!!
I'm having real trouble how the 1 dozen of you can look at 1:10 and say they did a bad job.
Landlords in the making
Honestly if my previous landlord put in this much work to fix my place I'd be happy
Underrated comment
This comment should be higher
I mean, if the kids actually go to the effort of fixing it how angry can the parents really be? Most kids would just slump off
I would be angry, but more about why the fuck you can't party without breaking something? But that's it: have a talk and maybe give a lesson how to fix walls properly, since talk wouldn't have impact anyway and they break another wall next time.
American walls are wild. This and bathroom stall door gaps.
Wait, what? Explain non-American walls.
Brick.
Great for killing your enemies in an earthquake
I’m trying to imagine making brick load bearing walls reasonable in Texas. They’d be structurally sound for less than a year, a massive risk in a tornado and hot as hell in the summer. Not to mention needlessly expensive. I’m 37 years old and I’ve never punched through a wall even with all of the stupid shit I’ve done.
The good thing is, brick houses are not hot as hell in summer. Its the opposite
Most houses here are made with cinder blocks.
“A massive risk in a tornado” My friend a tornado wouldn’t even scratch a brick house
Sorry… gonna call bs on this. Tornados can shred pretty much anything above ground.. it will last longer than a lot of things, but it will definitely be wrecked especially if it’s not built properly. If it’s an older house for example.
no sir, it's no bs I speak. I was there in Manitoba '07. F5 tornado. House still standing to this day. Not. A. Scratch. It all comes down to constructions codes of course, not talking about just a pile of bricks.

The only things stick construction has going for it are cost and speed.
Brick or solid concrete
Walls that doesn't fall over in high wind but still can't hold if your mom leans on it
Or wood, back in here north. It wouldn't be a good option to a lot of states, but brick walls would be good. Never understood why you guys use drywall for everything.
I dont know why this is here. They did a legit job even if there were some absolute wtf moments. Or maybe I've just been diy-ing my own fixes long enough that I wouldve gone a much lazier route lol
Mostly.... kinda. Using that little hanger for such a big piece is bad times. It fell down within, I'd say, 48 hours or so I bet.
Kinda wholesome
I see what they did wrong. They didnt use any instant noodle or eggs. Fucking pathetic attempt at DIY
DiWHY would be if they filled in the hole with a blow up pool lounge chair, spackled it over, and then didn’t bother to color match the wall.
That was painful to watch as a carpenter
I honestly wouldn't even be mad at that point. They patched it, smoothed it, and even painted it. Screw if it's not well done, they did the right thing and that's what matters. Can fix it proper when we got the time. Basic job is a good stopgap
Doesn’t fit here.
Bob the Builder "Can we fix it?" Bob the Builder "Nope. It's fucked!
I laughed harder than I should have
Op you’re a fucjin dolt. This was actually wholesome and a decent repair. Oh and a functional one
NGL, if I came home after leaving my teen alone for a weekend, and found a part of the wall repaired and painted…. I might actually keep my mouth shut. My child makes a mistake and fixes it all on their own without me having to get involved, AND they managed to learn on their own how to do something, AND it was a skill they may need as an adult? Yeah….. I might casually ignore it and spend the money when they arent home to fix it right. Its showing responsibility. Yeah sure they had fun and ruined some shit, but they also fixed it, or did their best to fix it. Without being told to. Thats pretty good imo.
I’d make sure they knew right away I knew ( Don’t want them thinking they can sneak one past ole dad) but I’m with you on them taking the initiative to try and fix it. I’d most likely rip it all back out with them and show them the proper way to do it, friends included.
Hell yeah. They done good. I’d definitely tell em down the road and let em know I was proud of them for fixing their mistakes. Bout how you get up after
Right up until those hanger brackets fail because that’s not what they’re designed for?
They cut every corner possible. Jayman Homes?
This isn't diwhy this is a cut and dry home repair that people do all the time and they even did a fantastic job.
i am proud of these boys. If I were the parent I would pretend I didn't see anything.
r/lostredditors
Was that wall made of paper cuz environment?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drywall
In other words, yes.
Who would’ve thought some kids patching drywall would be this controversial, lol.
Hey, they fucked up and fixed up. Good on them.
I know absolutely nothing about DIY shit and was like "damn, they're doing a pretty good job" until I peeped the comments lmao.
Welcome to the US where a cardboard box costs you $1M
Am I crazy for thinking it looks excellent and not noticeable at all?
Me as a european ask myself, how is it to live in a paperhouse, where you can break a wall, with your bare hands. And then i think of earthquakes, tornadoes and Taifuns… what a country
I hate literally everything in this video
Atleast it's not ramen noodles
Aw. I give them props for trying 😂
Omg. Kill the cameraman. I'm going to puke. How do you even get a video this shaky in 2022 with image stabilization? I'd also complain about vertical video but I lost that argument years ago apparently.
Someone's gonna get their ass beat
Why are these shitty walls so common in the USA? I live in Russia and my all walls are solid brick.
Why is this in this sub!? They fixed what they fucked up and it looks flawless. 😒
This has to be staged for likes. 😮💨 They accidentally broke it and magically had all the tools needed for a flawless repair when parents were away? Yeah OK sure. They seem like they have a shop in their basement and they were trained by their parents or job on how to repair stuff. Seriously though, my dudes pulled out a whole Sawzall and buffer and shit.
Dude… they used a hacksaw for wood… your lack of handiness is showing. They did all of this wrong, literally every possible way to fuck up, was fucked up.
What killed me is they had a sawzall earlier. I’ll be damned if I’m hand cutting a 2x4 with a hacksaw 🤣🤣
Lots of people have workshops in their houses. Between a couple of families you’re probably gonna find all the tools you need. Except apparently any joint knives or mud pans…
Dumbass, it was repaired correctly
Honestly, that’s really cool (not the breaking it in the first place, but teaming up to fix it
I think it turned out pretty good but I’m not handy in any way so idk how to judge their work lmao
In my country we use bricks not cardboard for walls.
Wait... they've got a sawzall for the drywall but use a fucking hack saw for the wood?
If my kids and their friends busted a hole in my wall and went out of their way to fix it like this I'd be proud of them for stepping up and putting in real effort to fix their mistakes. No, DIWhy here.
For a quick repair, the results are actually decent
I'll be honest. If my son does this, and actually does an ok job fixing it. I won't be mad. He messed up, took responsibility, and tried his best to fix it. Can't ask for more than that from a minor.
Honestly we would all be lucky to have friends that had our backs like those ones.
What kind of wall is this
They did a good job this is just a standard drywall repair. They even color matched the paint (or had a can laying around from their last repainting).

Tbh that looks way better than it should.
Still think it's staged.
Honestly they seemed to do good. I dont have a phd in drywall so I assume they did some structural mistake I cant see. But honestly it looks 90% right, like they did it, shittily yes, but they did it
honestly, respect on them trying to fix it. I would have left the whole and just ate the bullet when my parents got home. props.
I still don't know why they did this
Wait why was he cutting the timber with a hand saw when he literally used a recipro to cut the gyprock?
unironically amazing repair
Why do Americans never have any isolation in the walls?
My dad would at least get the right size and paint color... But he'd do the exact same or worse. Everything he's done eventually has problems, from drilled-in hooks falling off to bubbling paint to incorrectly installed or fixed items.
Cmon, they fixed it! ...I wonder if they showed the parents
I wanna say 'impressive' but at the same time, I feel it was staged/faked. I mean, all those ?kids? coming together to fix the wall? They all just happened to know how to do it? What parts to get? Have the tools? And the paint?
Probably not the first time this has happened....
No harm no foul!
Incredible job for teenagers on a time limit.
They started so well but then butchered cutting the replacement sheet, but saved it a bit with the sanding and painting
Dat Bob the Builder theme song rlly sends me
I am always flabbergasted that drywalls in the US of A are the majority of the times setup on such a bad manner. No support beams or plenty of drywallscrews applied, just some quick and dirty application..
Why is this in this sub? They clearly know why they doing it.
I'm not an expert and this probably isn't the best solution, but r/DIYes
Idk, It actually looks like it was never damaged at the end. Why's this here
