I know exactly what you mean. I purposely have no idea how to hook up the Playstation.

You know everything! Somethings, however, I don’t want to know how to do because then I’ll have to do them. Like taking out the garbage. Or doing dishes. Never learn how to do those things.

Damsel! I just love your site and dry humor! I am getting ready to can some meat and you have given me the impetus.
keep up the great posts and pictoral essays.

good info. I’ve done a similar mend, but tried to fit the patch to the whole, instead of cutting an easier (rectangular!) shape. I insist that the hole maker learns how to mend the whole, too. HOpefully that results in less holes made.

jonathan says… “i don’t want to name names, but could the teenage son responsible for this mess have a name that starts with a k and rhymes with lenny?”

one more hint…
be sure to put either a coat of primer or a few coats of flat paint on before painting with a non-flat paint. otherwise the paint will show the repair

I thought for sure that your holes in the wall would involve a Head belonging to one of your boys being put through the sheetrock by one of your other boys or a male relative or a male friend. That is how holes in our sheetrock always happen. The Knight was amazing. This might be a good lesson for said teenage son to have learned also!
