What happens here

Measure the dimensions of the hole in the drywall to determine the required size for the patch. Using these measurements, mark and precisely cut a new drywall patch from a piece of drywall. The patch should be slightly larger than the hole to provide adequate surface area for adhesion and strength.

Goal: Fabricate a drywall patch that precisely fits the prepared opening.
