Yeah, I know. It's not about cars, and everybody already knows how to do this... except me. I fix cars, not walls. I have no wall tools. (insert bad wal-mart joke)
Anyway, Pher, who built her own house, came over on wednesday to teach me how to fix the hole i put in the hallway. She brought a roto-zip tool, and a bunch of other neat stuff. She patched it while i watched & learned. Thursday I sanded it and re-spackled it. Today I sanded it again, and then painted the hallway. If I had taken just a little more time you probably couldn't see the patch at all, and I genuinely suck at painting, but apparently so did the last guy who painted the hall. At least my paint didn't run. It's still wet in the pic so might look a little less patchy later.
Anyway, pics follow. If anyone wants to come over to point out my mistakes, feel free to re-do it on your own time during your visit ;)
