I’ve noticed how a lot of the comments here are saying the info and tips for how to remove the screws and nails from the drywall during the first half of the video is “not needed” or a “waste of time”.
So, as someone who actually did need that information as well as the information on how to fill the holes, I do not agree with those who think the first half of the video is unnecessary/a waste of time.
However, I can see where some of them are coming from. I recommend that you edit the title of the video to mention that this video includes both the removal of screws and nails in drywall as well as the repairing of the holes. It will help alleviate the backlash and prevent confusion of those who are just looking for the information in the second half of the video.
I hope you take my advice and continue to grow this channel of yours. Good luck! 👍

3:35 and 3:45 Bro, i was looking for that specific type of anchor that is flush and flat ring, because its hard to figure out how to remove. And NOBODY on youtube showed how to remove that type of anchor. But your the ONLY one who showed how to do it. Thanks bro. Your the man. 👍

Half the video was talking about how to remove anchors if you want to get to the point of patching the hole then fast forward to 7:00 minutes in

[MarkJaquith]

For those plastic anchors that are stuck, I just use flush cut wire cutters to cut the collar off, and then push them into the wall and let them fall into the void. It does way less damage to the wall because you're not dragging those flared parts back through the hole.

This is great - came here to learn about patching a nail holes but ended up leaving with a lot more knowledge than I expected. Subscribed.

Spreading that spackle or compound so far out from the repair, is gonna add extra work to your repair. You can use a damp cloth to clean it up and save yourself extra work such as additional sanding and re-texturing... JS...Also pre-cutting your tape closer to the size of the hole repair, is a much easier option.

Seeing this video in 2023, and at the beginning your thanking everyone for making it to 2, 000 subscribers. Wow! Keep up the great work man!

[billelliott]

Thank you for the video. It would have been very helpful if you went back and showed what the second coat would look like after the 'bubbled' holes had dried as well as the second and third layer over the mesh tape and how you finished the while process.

Thank you so much for the detailed explination on this! I've been planning on installing shelves and was so worried about how to repair the holes since I'm in a rental apartment. Thanks again!

I always use the handle of my drywall knife to dent in the hole so that you can get better adhesion of the drywall compound and a better chance of having an even unnoticeable patch

[tatianaflorez]

Very impressive! Simple and easy to execute. Thank you. These kinds of videos mean the world to single moms.

[WooMFBang]

I just learned so much, thank you!! I can do this!! I’ve always either had someone to do these types of repairs and now that I don’t, I’m trying to learn how to do some small things.l and get into diy stuff. These are the foundation skills I need. Thanks again!

[MultiStats]

Thank you! You helped me out with a problem and provided an education to an ignorant person. I am a new subscriber.

[ronmariataylor]

So clear and easy!!! Just what I needed it. Followed the patching with the screen and worked great. Thank you. This is a great channel. I just subscribed and plan to follow future videos.

New home owner here and although theres alot I know, home repair isnt one of them, so thanks for the vid.

[andrewjordan]

After removing the nail/ screw/ anchor....take rounded end of ball pein hammer and slightly dent the drywall surface over the hole...then apply the drywall compound..that way you wont tear the drywall paper surface by scraping and the hole will be invisible after painting...

[ncironhorse]

Good video. I use a countersink on a drill to clean the edges of the hole instead of a scraper. I think it also helps to push the joint compound into the hole

[jgarno]

Most holes are on painted wall surface. It gets tricky to not mess up the paint on the wall next to the holes.
