Explain how to do Drywall Repair?
Drywall repair is not difficult, but it does require some special tools and techniques. The most important thing to remember when doing drywall repair is to take your time and be careful not to damage the surrounding area. To start, you will need to remove any loose or damaged drywall. Use a putty knife to scrape away any loose paint or plaster, then use a utility knife to score the damaged drywall. This will make it easier to remove the damaged section. Next, cut a piece of new drywall to fit the opening. Make sure to use a sharp knife so that the edges are clean and straight. Once the new drywall is in place, use drywall tape to cover the seams. Finally, apply a thin layer of joint compound over the entire repair. Use a putty knife to smooth out the compound, then let it dry. Once it is dry, sand the area smooth and paint over the repair.

How to Repair Mold in Drywall?
Mold is not something that anyone should let sit in their home for any period of time. It causes health problems, as well as a large amount of structural damage. It must be dealt with immediately after being found. Although most people may think that a professional is required, it is possible to do alone. Along with fixing the mold, there must be an investigation of what caused the mold, possibly a leak in the plumbing. Finding the starting spot and fixing it will keep mold from coming back.Before beginning the removal process, all involved must make sure to have a mask, latex gloves, and goggles. This will make sure to keep everyone safe. Also, turn the heat or air conditioning off. This will keep the mold from spreading once it starts getting moved around. The mold will end up going airborne, so be sure to have a window open with a fan pushing any excess mold outside.The first thing to do is cut off all of the drywall that was damaged. Get a drywall saw and cut horizontally until the stud is hit in both directions. Then, use a knife to cut a straight line in the drywall half way past the stud. That will leave you enough room to add the new piece of drywall, which should now be measured and cut to fit in the hole. The new layer of drywall should be placed onto the stud and drilled in with drywall screws, at least one inch long.Next, put on a thin layer of drywall compound using a drywall knife at all of the seams of the new drywall. Place some drywall tape into the compound with the drywall knife, making sure there is time for it to dry. Once dried, place another thin layer of the compound on top of the tape. This also needs to sit and dry. Then, scrape away any leftover drywall compound. Once last coat of compound should be used to taper the sides, making sure it is smooth. Find 160-grit sandpaper and sand the compound until it is smooth. Finally, paint the drywall to match the surrounding area.
Installing Drywall Over An Acoustic Ceiling?
If you are here reading this, chances are you are wanting to get rid of that old out dated look of your ceiling. Acoustic ceiling is also known as popcorn texture ceiling. If your home is older, scraping may not be an option since the ceiling could contain asbestos. So here is a guide to covering that old popcorn texture ceiling with drywall. Step 1. You will need a stud finder to find the ceiling joist. As you find each one, make sure you mark a tiny place on the wall so you know where it is. Step 2. Purchase up to a half inch thick drywall and enough to cover the are you are remodeling. Step 3. This is where you need help. Either find someone to help you hold the drywall up or rent a drywall jack. Be sure to stagger seams so you can avoid butting in all corners. The result of that could be cracking later on. Step 4. It is best to use drywall screws instead of nails. The reason for this is that screws provide better gripping and you need better gripping since it is going through 2 sheets of drywall. With the jack in place or even a person, start securing the drywall to the ceiling. Step 5. Now it is time to use some compound. With your drywall knife, put a good amount of compound along the seam and then remove the excess. Work on one seam at a time so the compound doesn’t start setting before you apply the tape. Step 6. Fold a strip of tape length wise and place it in the corner of the wall. Then apply a good amount of compound over the tape. Then wait for it to dry. Step 7. Before you can apply another layer of compound, you need to scrape off the excess. Once that is done then apply the next layer of compound. If you apply to much compound, you will have to sand it down. Then wait for the compound to dry. Step 8. Make sure you have good lighting in the room you are working in. That way you can see all the imperfections left behind. Now you can apply the last layer of compound. Once it is dry, you can sand down the spots that need it.
