Cut Out Damaged Drywall

What happens here

Identify the damaged area or existing hole in the drywall. Use a straight edge (like a piece of scrap drywall) and a pencil to draw a clean, even square or rectangle around the hole, making sure to cut past any damaged edges. Then, using a drywall saw, carefully cut along the marked lines to remove the damaged section, creating a neat, square opening in the wall.

Goal: Precisely mark and cut an even square around the existing hole in the drywall to create a clean opening for the patch. This ensures a stable and professional base for the repair.
