While playing WoW today, I went to get up for whatever reason. I generally push off against the wall to move my chair, which is just fine. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. The equal was that the wall suffered as much force against it as the chair did, but the wall was stronger than the friction between the chair and the floor, so the chair moved.
Of course, who'd have thought that the force against the wall would perminantly weaken it? Today was like any other. I was going to get a drink or something, and I push off -- SNAP. I have a neat hole in my wall.
Eventually, I ripped off the large chunks of sheetrock and vaccuumed up the crumbs (for lack of a better term), but I have a neat hole under my desk now.
All that aside, what's the best way to clean this up? I'm not looking for a good cover up, as I already told my parents, but it's annoying to have a hole there. I'm thinking a big tub of spackle spread around it with a 2x4 covering the back of the hole (unfinished utility room is on the other side, so there is no insulation / other wall back there), and then pulling the 2x4 off when it dries. Does anyone, particularly Mythix the door guy, have any better ideas?
