The first thing I like to do is start with the ceiling, in my opinion that is the most difficult part. Cutting of holes for lights can be tedious so have lots of patience and measure three or four times to ensure proper location of cuts. Always have an extra set of hands when working overhead. Once the ceiling is done you are home free from there. If working on a patch or small repair begin by securing a backer board behind the hole. Cut a piece of drywall or greenboard to fit in the opening and secure with drywall screws.Then cover joints with mesh tape and apply joint compound and feather outward. Sand and Apply another coat and repeat if necessary.
