Flyover
Trying not to screw things up worse
The walls in my garage are bumpy, almost like popcorn ceiling, but are drywall nonetheless and there are several holes in them. We have mice in the attic above the garage, so I figure it makes no sense to try and take care of the mice when they still have all these "doors" to get into the attic. (At the same time I feel like this is pointless and they'll find a way in regardless.)
In any case I figure it's a good idea to repair the holes the previous owners so graciously left me, to restore at least some order to the universe. But how do I patch the holes when the surrounding surface is rough and bumpy like that? I don't really care about matching it, but I'm concerned about how to properly apply drywall tape/putty in this situation
Sorry about the bad picture quality...blame the flip phone. Just enough to give you an idea of how the wall looks:
