Had Plumbing fixed - Drywall hole fill - no stud?
Hi - We just had some plumbing repairs done, and there are two holes cut in drywall - the larger is 12 x8, and the smaller is about 10x6. I know how to cut a piece of drywall to fill the hole, but how do I attach them, with no stud?
Any assistance will be appreciated.

Debbie,
This is pretty easy. Use a piece of plywood or dimension lumber that is either longer or wider than the hole and screw that to your existing rock. Do this all around so that it is half screwed onto the old rock and half projecting into the void. Then cut a new piece of rock to fit the hole neatly and screw it to the wood you have installed. Tape, mud another coat or two, texture if necessary and prime and paint when dry.
