Holes are one thing, but find me a house that doesn't have hairline drywall cracks or nail pops and you're likely living in a fantasy world! As homes move due to temperature, humidity, and ground movement one of the first things to show signs of that movement is the drywall or plaster.
Repairing small hairline cracks and nail pops is an easy project even for novice DIY'ers. Read on
