So I’ve had a hole in my kitchen wall for weeks since the water pipes were sunk into the wall. After getting advice on how best to fill the hole I was advised to use plasterboard.
I’ve never used plasterboard but after 2hours of cutting and carving I managed to get it filled ready for a skim of plaster and then the tiles. So here’s what you do when you have a hole in your kitchen wall…
Protect the work surface and surrounding bit’s and bobs. Make yourself a newspaper template of the hole, trace it onto a bit of plasterboard and I used a fret saw to cut out the main shape.
Stick it in the hole and you’ll probably find it doesn’t fit! Dont worry, grab a craft knife and carve bits off, checking regually.
You may also find that the pipes aren’t set back in the wall enough and rub against the board. You’ll need to remove some of the boards back. I used a claw hammer, it’s very messy!
Then whack it in the hole and job done! Ready for plaster skim. Phew!

Seeing as Transformers the Movie is just around the corner I’ve had a hunt around for some vintage Transformer toys. My thanks to Michael for the loan of this one – JET.
