<p>I love the touch of the fake power outlet. Well done!</p>
<p>If we'd been thinking a little harder about this, we would've set up a live outlet and had the <em>Asteroids</em> machine plugged into it or something. Still, it was a nice touch.</p></blockquote>

As the texture hides the imperfect from the first two coats. Plus, walls aren't usually textured (pain in the a$# to touch up and not make it stick out) . I could see in the video the taping job wasn't that great. Props on the prank though.<p>Sorry, my family is in the drywall business, it even drives me nuts walking into a house and seeing all the imperfections in the drywall from the tapers.</p></p>

That would have been great too!! But I'm happy any day to see an office door get drywall-shut!!</p>

Robert had enough trouble breaking through it. Can you imagine if he kicked a stud? Sure, it would have been awesome entertainment value for the rest of us!<p>That was a well done prank! I love the touch of the fake power outlet. Well done!</p></p>

Guess you guys are used to repairing holes in the walls.</p></p>
