Hey guys, and hope I'm not in the wrong section posting this,
I'm not too knowledgeable in the DIY repair world of things but I've happened across a fist-sized hole in my drywall 4 days before a surveyor is expected to come round to inspect the house for the people who recently gave us an offer! I know.. rather bad timing.
I did a quick google and found a couple of how tos.
It seems simple enough to accomplish in 4 days I would hope however the only issue from simply following their instructions is that I have a door frame right next to my hole [see attached image].
Although I don't have a stud finder I did have some little magnets lying around and you should be able to see the 4 magnets surrounding the hole.
So I'm expecting it's not going to be quite as simple as that.. if it is great but if it isn't I was hoping someone could offer some insight into how to apply dry-wall to this area? Will the doorframe need to be removed?
Much thanks I will try to respond to any questions asap!
[I can't seem to post the images since I haven't made enough posts :/
just imagine a fist sized hole in drywall 5 inches away from a doorframe. The magnets surround the hole but are touching the doorframe so are probably under it or very close]
