u have to knock out the entire dry wall and replace it. gonna cost ya around $400, plus labor. i can do it for $200 though, but u gotta pay for my plane ticket.
haha just kidding. ask home depot. u can do it, they can help. |

i have a bad habit of throwing random household items when i get mad.
my old apartment in NY... i successfully threw both an iron and my foot through a wall. :nervous: these weren't little holes that could have been fixed with spackle either, they were huuuge.
surprisingly the landlord was chill as and he was like "oh that must have been from the previous tenant, he had a bookcase in front of that wall and i probably never noticed it!"
me: "uhhh yeah, that must be it!"
cha-ching... got my full security deposit back! |

That's what I've heard, but I've never known anyone to actually use it... |

Go to Lowe's and look in the spackle department, they have a product that is a little bottle with a sponge on top and it's specifically for filling nail holes, tack holes, etc. I used it when I moved out of my apt and it works perfect. Takes like a second to fill a hole.
EDIT: BAM!! Found it:

i have..it works better if u mix a small bit of elmer's white glue with it..no joke...as long as he doesnt scrutinize the wall u should be ok :p
*edit - of course, if u have a few bucks some putty @ home depot would prob be safer, but i was in college(aka broke):haha: |
