Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
OK, I have fixed the leaky shower on the 2nd floor. Now, I have a hole in my 1st floor ceiling that was made to get to the leaking drain pipe.
The hole has been patched with drywall, tape and mud. I will sand it today.
What scares me is how to match the knockdown texture. And having to do it on the ceiling seems tougher than doing it on a wall.
It doesn't have to be an exact match. (I had friends use that bathroom many times who never even noticed the hole!). I think if I come reasonably close most people will never notice it has been patched.
One place offers a knockdown sponge kit for $16. Another guy recommends a spray can of texture.
I would appreciate any suggestions or tips.
