So this morning I was making my way to the door after having just got up when I tripped over a towel I had carelessly left in the middle of my floor. I started to fumble and almost caught myself, only to lose my balance in the end and fall backwards into the wall behind me. There is a nice-sized dent in the wall where my butt and lower back hit and I was hoping y'all could give me some pointers on how to fix it.
Thanks everyone!!
Cut out a square until you reach the middle of the studs on both sides of the crack.
Cut a piece to fit.
Tape/plaster.
paint.
Thanks! I figured it would be more to it than that. Most appreciated. [cool]
I forgot to say "screw the drywall to the studs"
Probably not necessary, but if it were me, I would put a piece
of 2x4 across where the horizontal seem was so I could screw it
down. But then I always over engineer things.

A piece of 1x is all that is needed to be able to screw the drywall edges down.
