Ceiling-Patch-Before

This has been my first experience with sheetrock - both patching and hanging new. What you see here is the hole left in the ceiling from when I took out the one light in the center of the ceiling an replaced with with four cans in each corner of the room. For this patch I put two small boards up into the hole so that they overlapped each edge. Each board had a screw in it's center that I could use as a handle while I set a screw into each side of it, screwing it down to the cedar boards in the ceiling. With the boards secure, I removed the center screws and screwed a sheetrock patch to the spanning boards.
