Got a quote from a ceiling repair place for over $1000 for this (Australia) which was ~$450 for the repair, the rest for painting...
As far as I can tell it just needs to be nailed back into the roof struts(?), crack sanded back, plastered over, then sanded back and painted...
Do I have the wrong idea about this? Am I in over my head as a relatively inexperienced DIY-er?
Thanks in advance!
like these https://www.widgetco.com/hole-covers-plugs-1-2-black but 3/4 inch (20mm) and not $750 minimum buy...
All the ones i find around are plastic is that fine for wood siding?
Maximum hole size is 3/4 inch, but don't want to fill the hole with caulk & paint it because the next person (who is most likely going to be me) is going to want to know where the hole is to install a different device there in the future. Devices like light fixtures, cameras, etc.
