New homeowner and first-time posted here. I made the noobie mistake of taking one wrong step in the attic and stepping through the ceiling drywall. I managed to avoid major injury to my person but can't say the same for the ceiling which I've attached pictures of. Yes, those are children's books holding up the offending section of drywall.
My question is: since the drywall/ceiling doesn't have a major hole but has instead just cracked and "folded" along the crack, is it possible to mend it the way it is, rather than cutting out that section and going through the whole process of laying new drywall, etc.? If so, how do I go about doing that? If not, is there a recommendation of the best guide out there to replacing a section of the ceiling?
Thank you in advance!
