I'm a sad sack of a handyman and I need some help. I've got a circular hole in my drywall about 7 inches in diameter from where the stovepipe used to run through. I'd like to repair it but I've no idea how.
Any ideas?

Czech said:You know, this is a good question. Although I know the basics mentioned above, are there any tricks to getting a odd sized piece cut right the first time? I need to spend a day and just patch holes (and finish the 1/4 round on the floor, and the wood floor in the closet, and...) from where I have had to do some wiring and such.
Flatbedford said:I'd make the hole a square and use the technique form post #1. Use a level as a straight edge so that you will end up with a true square. It will be easier to cut a square to fit the hole than a circle. It might be a slightly bigger patch, but it will be easier to deal with. Tapping around a circle could be tricky. I just did a few in my teenage stepson's room. Lucky for him, he just missed the studs! Oh the fun of first love.
