Home improvement guru Jon Eakes shared a quick technique to repair holes in drywall during the 11th Annual First Nations Northern Housing Conference, held Feb. 12-14 in Thunder Bay. Eakes first cut a drywall patch on the back to just smaller than the hole while leaving the front paper intact. He then plastered drywall compound around the hole (left) before sticking the patch over the compound and hole (centre). He finished by applying a layer of compound over the patch (right).
