Default Sheetrock repair question

I had to cut an 18x18 hole in the wall to repair the plumbing (@#$% plastic
pipe anyhow...).

Now I have the challenge of repairing the hole. I can use some 2x2s or 2x4s
to build a frame around the hole to attach the sheet rock to, and while a
bit of work it's not too bad and will work. Are there any other ways to put
a big chunk of sheetrock back in place that would be less work? Clips to
hold in in place, etc.?


Yes, clips are available from many sources.

Good luck with the repair,
