The drawback is, it will brake down over time and you'll wind up back at square one at some point down the road. A better fix is both the mesh to hold off the weeds etc and the concrete slab. That combo would probably out last the home owner. Alan Please click on:

Drywall and jiprock or sheet rock are the same thing. Filling holes depends a little on the nature of the holes. If they don't go right through then you just spread and force the mud right over the hole. You may need to spread a thin layer of plaster and embed paper tape into it to give better

Don't know the cost, seems to me that a 30 pound pail of pre-mixed plaster is about 35 bucks but I don't remember and it would be a lot more than you would need. You can buy small pales and even boxes of powder to be mixed with water quite cheaply. - Original Message - From:

I just finished a big wall repair project. There is a new kind of dry wall filler. It doesn't shrink very much as it dries. It is pink when wet and turns white when dry. I know that doesn't do us much good but it should help identify it at the home center. Sue said she felt like she was
