“Hi, I'm located here in my area and I was just watching a video on VideoProven called ‘How to fix a patch a drywall hole the right way’. I see that it's rated as a Medium repair and requires a Utility Knife and a Drywall Saw, which I don't have on hand. I'm a bit stuck on the step at the 06:15 mark. Can you send someone over to help me finish this up?”
