    Who cares about it looking nice, once it's all over, then you can just replace the whole 4X8 sheet if you need to.

    I'll be watching this thread to see good news!

    Thanks for the help! I resorted to a screwdriver and pushed a bunch if little holes and then used pliers to pull out the wall in between. I don't k ow the difference between Sheetrock and drywall but I definitely could not have punched through this stuff.

    Shouldn't be too hard, I'm not concerned about it! Just so happy that I got him out tonight. How he managed to get there, I do not know. He went through atleast four holes within the wall.

    He came out with only some very minor scrapes, I'm assuming from screws within the walls. The scrapes dont even penetrate the scale so he should be fine!!!!

    Dude you got lucky, if your house has those metal studs the holes in them aren't deburred at all and are sharp as hell.

    Glad you got him out though!

    YAY!!!

    I am so very glad you got him out, and that I helped in some small way.

    You probably have the higher grade sheetrock, which is fairly tough, around here everyone uses the bottom of the line stuff and trust me, you can punch a hole in it pretty easily.

    But the important thing is, baby is safe and sound and none the worse for wear! And I think we've all learned a very important lesson here, don't turn your back on one of these little buggers for a second. Just like a toddler, you wouldn't believe how much trouble they can get into in a few seconds.
