with ripping off the shingles and pouring water
all around the roof to find the leak. After you

common glues to repair them, but if they are out

- Drywall repair is tricky if you have orange peel
patterns. Small holes are easy. Purchase drywall
paste and use a flat knife to glide the paste
over the hole. If you have orange peel pattern,
you can purchase a can of orange peel spray.
Spray a little over the affected area. Let dry
then sand it down (gently). After that, paint and
you are good to go. Make sure you have the same
color of paint as the wall. If the hole is bigger
and the paste cannot hold around the hole, you
need something to fill in the void. Purchase a
piece of drywall and find a bowl that can fit
around the damaged area. - Draw a circle and cut out the remainder of the
circle. Be careful. Use the same bowl and cut out
the round piece on the new drywall part you
bought. Now, you should have a perfect circle
that fits into the circle you made on the wall.
Spin the drywall piece around until it looks good
enough to push in. Use a hammer and lightly tap
the drywall piece into place. If needed, sand the
edges. You dont want the replacement piece
larger than the hole. Just be careful. Once you
have it in place, use the paste for the cut
edges. Let dry, sand and paint. If the piece
falls inward and you need to to come back towards
you to fit, drill a small hole in the center of
the drywall circle. Take a paperclip and
straighten it out. Now make an L shape with it.
Place the paperclip inside the small hole and
turn it so the clip grabs the backside. Now, spin
it and pull towards you until the desired effect.
