Cut your drywall at a 45 degree angle to make it easier for
patching.

First time I saw that tip, it was a true forehead-smacker. (why
didn't I think of that before....)


When you replace the plug, it'll be a bit recessed due to the
width of the kerf. I prefer a square cut and to hot melt a couple
of wood strips across the opening. Then, set them firm with
drywall screws. This makes it easy to screw the removed plug back
in place.
