Drywall Repair (and Tips on Plaster) with Andrew Hall
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.
The lesson plan will address plaster walls and tips for patching and repairing plaster with drywall materials (not with original plaster restoration).
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.

About the Instructor
"I'm the type of person who has been building and fixing things my entire life. The transition into home repair and remodel work as a career was a natural one. I grew up in the south and met my wife while working in Indianapolis. We moved to Cincinnati 6 years ago and have two beautiful girls. I enjoy home repair for the fact of making old things new again. I’m also learning new things each day which drives me to continue to expand my skill set and never stop learning. Teaching others what I’ve learned gives me fulfillment to know good skills are being passed onto other people. Working as a lead craftsman at my current job gives me the opportunity to showcase my skill set as we renovate homes all around the Cincinnati area. I look forward to sharing my abilities with others so they too can better care for their homes.”

FAQs
- What is the class size of a DIYD workshop?
Typically 5-12 participants per workshop.
- Can I bring my child with me to the workshop?
Unless we are explicitly offering childcare, we ask that you do not bring children under the age of 16 to DIYD workshops as our venues are not child-safe and there is no place for children to wait during a workshop. Young adults over the age of 16 are welcome to participate in the workshops.
- What should I wear to the workshop?
We strongly recommend that participants wear close-toed comfortable shoes and durable clothing that you don’t mind getting dirty or dusty. If you have long hair, it is recommended that you bring a hair tie to put it up during the hands-on portion of our workshops. If you have your own PPE (safety glasses, earplugs, mask), we recommend bringing that as well. We will provide PPE as well.
- Do I need to bring my own tools?
Unless otherwise noted, we will provide tools for all participants in every workshop. If you would like to bring your own tools to a workshop to get practice with them, you are welcome to. Just remember to charge your batteries ahead of time!
