Drywall Repair Seminar by Done Construction

Whether you need to patch a nail hole in a wall or one much bigger, students learned today how to do it. The folks from Done Construction started the seminar by having Madison, a 10th grade student at TCS, explain the many tools used in drywall repair. Madison has experience working with her dad who is a drywall mechanic and finisher. After having some fun punching a few holes in the demonstration wall built for this purpose, the students learned about the many ways of fixing them. They learned the use of mesh, tape and corner bead as well as a very cool method called the “California patch.”
We are very thankful to the folks from Done for teaching these practical skills to the students each month, Thank you Beth, Sarah Sr. Catesby, Kirsten and Sarah Jr.!
