A lot of cool options, but I love my Alice layout!

The backside of a wall showing two pieces of a yard stick glued to attach a drywall patch.
We’ve had a very poorly patched spot on our wall since we moved in. Recently removed part of the wall and this was the back of it. They just… glued rulers to the back.
