Hi there, first post but as I’m about to start doing my house up ready to sell, it certainly won’t be my last…
We live in a 1st floor maisonette and the entrance/stairway to our property has a thinner wall than the rest of the building (not sure exactly what you’d call it). A few months ago my idiot neighbour took it upon himself to drill 2 new holes – yeah, in OUR wall, without asking!! - because the shared gate between our building and theirs was wobbly – he achieved what he wanted, but the bolts he used came through almost to the surface of our interior wall, far enough to make holes anyway. I was livid about the whole thing especially as we own our place and he was only renting the other property but that’s another story…
So I’ve got 2 holes, each about the diameter/depth of a golf ball or slightly larger, that need filling (ashamed to say the holes are currently covered in duct tape to stop my cats ‘playing’ with them). Can anyone advise me what to use for this? I’m concerned that the holes are really dusty/crumbly and that this might affect the adhesiveness of whatever I use? I realise the finish is probably going to look terrible against the rest of the wall whatever I do, but as the whole entrance and hallway needs replastering at a later date, that doesn’t concern me and it will look better than a bit of tape!
Cheers.
