About this workshop
In this workshop, students will be shown how to fix damaged drywall with hands on practice. We’ll start by learning about how house framing looks and functions behind the drywall, and then will learn how to prepare or remove a section of damaged drywall, patch or replace it with new drywall, apply coats of drywall mud, and sand it down to perfection, before painting.
Lead Poisoning Hazard Disclaimer: All home renovation work can create a significant lead hazard if completed in a pre-1978 home. DIYD will provide Lead Poisoning Prevention resources to any workshop attendee living in a pre-1978 home. DIYD also hosts a lead safety class twice a year - we highly recommend that you sign up for the lead safety class before you complete these projects in your home if your home was built before 1978 and you have young children living in your home.Date, Location, and Parking information:
