Day 7: Repair Wall Behind Front Door

Ok, I'm not sure if the rest of you are sick of seeing my wall repairs, but I am sick and tired of spackling! I swear, we do actually have walls in the house that don't have holes in them!!  I think I'm almost done with all of the spackle, now that I've become an expert. 

We've had a dent/hole in the wall behind our front door for about a year now....it's from the door knob hitting the wall when the door is opened. Yes, we did buy & install a door stopper on the wall to prevent the door from hitting, but (here's the surprising part) we didn't fix the actual dent/hole that was made.  Another quick and painless project today...spackle & paint.  Project 7 - Done.

Wall Before: Dent/Hole

Wall After
 (sorry for the dark picture,
the paint still wasn't dry and the sun had almost set)



This project makes one full week of completed projects...most of them were quick and easy. I have to say, I wasn't sure if I could stick with the 30 days (I'm still not) but I have to say, posting my work and reading your comments, both funny & supportive, has really pushed me to stick with it.  These projects haven't been overly time consuming and they haven't given me too many problems....the best part is that I haven't spent any money, not a single cent. Now, It's a little sad that we have had all of the materials to finish these projects...it really just means we are lazy....but this challenge I gave myself is putting an end to all of that.
