It's painting time again. Mr. Thrifty suggested that paint one of the bedrooms over the Memorial Day weekend. That means my job of prepping begins now. Besides taping off the doors, windows and baseboards, I also patch the holes left from pictures.
We have had a problem of pop up holes in the dry wall plaster where the plasterer did not recess the screw. As a result, there is a dimple in the wall.
First, Mr. Thrifty cuts out around the screw.
He removes the screw from the hole and places it right above the bad dimple. He makes sure to recess the screw in the new hole.
It takes two sets of spackling to completely fixing the hole. Spackle, let dry, sand, re-spackle,
sand and paint.
It is a small thing, but when you see your walls freshly painted, you will be glad that you stopped to repair the dimples.
