drywall repair
I have a wall where you can see a vertical line of nails that are starting to loosen from the wall. Should I pound them back in and spackle each one or pound them back in, mud from ceiling to trim then sand. Thanks

TAP the nails back in without breaking the sheetrock paper.
Overlap heads of drywall screws over the heads of the nails to prevent them from popping out again.
Mud each nail dimple, allow to dry, and sand smooth. You may need to do this more than once.
Prime and paint.
Good Luck!
