Question:

My wife and I have decided to make over our dinning room; the wall leading to the outside some of the drywall screws (I checked) are causing dimples or working there way out of the 2x4's. What is your recommendation to resolve this situation?

Answer:

You want to be a good shot with a hammer! Just drive the screws back in and then patch over them with drywall joint compound. The only problem you might run into is getting the spots to blend in once you paint. Prime them first and then paint the spots before starting to paint the rest of the wall.
