What happens here
Begin the drywall repair by preparing the existing hole. This involves carefully removing any existing fixtures, such as a switch plate or an old patch, and cleaning up the edges of the opening. It is crucial to ensure that any live electrical wires in the vicinity of the hole are safely disconnected before proceeding to prevent any electrical hazards.
Goal: Create a clean and safe opening for the new drywall patch.
