How to install Dywall

start hanging ½ drywall or Blueboard on the wall & Ceiling,Some cities may ask for 5/8 or dual 5/8 boards for the ceiling. If there is an apartment above, screw gypsum board on the ceiling, with at least 5 to 6 screws on each strip. Use 4-5 screws to the walls. start Hanging drywall from the ceiling and then the walls later. If not that can cracks in corners easier after plastered. When hanging the walls, cut the drywall all over the windows and doors. Do not use small pieces. Small pieces can cause cracking in the future. Tape the joints beginning with flat sides of the board. Then place the two pieces together and tape them on an angle.
