Answer 2

   Get a spakle kit and some sandpaper and the matching paint.  Apply the spakle with putty knife or trowel and let it dry making sure that the hole is filled and covered and smoothing the spakle flush to the wall.  Allow the spakle to dry and then sand until smooth starting with a coarse grade and gradually working down to smooth.  When satisfied, apply paint.  For larger holes a palstic mesh is used to cover the hole first then spakle is applied over the mesh and then sanded.

Answer 3

Put your "friend" in charge of finding and paying for an expert dry wall repairman.  While he's busy with that, you might check out sources of anger management therapy for him.  What a goober!

Answer 4

In order to make it look like it never happened, you would have to totally repaint the wall. New walls never look like old walls. It depends on if it's drywall or not. Drywall is like sheetrock between two pieces of firm paper. If so, then it's gonna suck even more. I say tell the landlord that a g*y couple came over, you got offended, and before you knew it there was baby oil and cool whip all over the place, and when you woke up, there was a hole in the wall. If this doeesn't work, then I suggest kicking your friend in the nuts. Good luck!

DRYWALL, MUD, LIL PAINT. 30 BUCKS. NEW LESS DESTRUCTIVE FRIEND. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . PRICELESS.

Answer 6

If you do it yourself, very little.  You need a piece of sheetrock big enough to fill the hole (with margins), and enough paint to do one wall.  Start by enlarging the hole enough to give smooth edges.  Now take a piece of cardboard, larger than the hole, punch two small holes in it, and loop a piece of string through the holes.  Put glue around the outer part of the cardboard, fold it in half, stick it in the hole, and unfold it.  Pull it up against the backside of the wall with the string.  Place a pencil across the front of the hole, and tie the string around it to hold the cardboard in place while the glue dries overnight.  Next day, untie and remove the string.  Coat the back of the sheetrock patch with glue, and place it in the hole.  After the glue has set, use spackle to fill the crack, let that dry, then sand smooth and paint.
