I had my first Bruce moment today.
Was running additional wires in the small attic, missed a step and... well you can see. I'm OK, and I didn't even get pissed at myself, which was weird. I guess I figured I was overdue.





So since I've never had to deal with this, I started to look for drywall repair guy.
I got prices ranging from $225 to $375 and more.
Is this normal? Residential installation, less than 4SqFt worth of drywall, some mud, texture in a can and a pint of color matched paint from Home Depot less than 3 miles away.

What do you expect to pay someone to fix something like that?

Another question for the group, I'm eating the cost of this repair as it was all my fault; is that the normal course of business for most of you out there? 
Does anyone have any clauses about not being responsible for accidents such as this?
