The job
A rectangular opening had been cut into a lavender wall to reach two insulated pipes. The after photo shows it closed with new drywall, taped and coated, ready for paint.
Typical steps for this job
The photos show the start and the finish; these are the usual steps in between:
- The edges of the opening were squared off.
- Backing was set inside the cavity so the new piece has something to fasten to.
- A drywall patch was cut to size and screwed in.
- The seams were taped and coated with joint compound, ready for sanding and paint.
Plumbers often need this kind of opening; closing it is its own job, and the patch is invisible only after paint.
