Deciding on Whether To Purchase Bellcast Beads
Hanging Sheetrock for the Ceiling and Walls
Hanging Sheetrock on the ceiling for your remodeling project does not have to be hard. It can be easy and fun. It just depends on you. Using the right materials for the project is what it’s all about. Like the right length, thickness and kind of board.
Over the years, I have found that while doing Home Remodeling Projects, it is best to have 2-3 people to hang the ceiling; it’s much easier than using a Drywall Jack. Drywall Board of 1/2" x 4×8 standard sheetrock is best for ceilings, depending on the area of the ceiling. If there is a large area then use size 4×10 or 4×12.
Have 2 people to put the piece of sheet rock in place and to hold it tight, while the other person screws it in place with 1-3/8 Drywall screws. Screw at least 3 screws in the middle of the piece of sheetrock about 12 inches apart in order to hold it in place before screwing the borders. This will prevent the sheetrock from spinning or moving while screwing everything in place. Next, screw around the whole boarder. Then, finish screwing the sheetrock on the ceiling. Always remember to stagger your joints like laying brick.
To hang the walls, do not stand the sheet rock upright; lay it flat across the walls. Start with the first piece up against the ceiling, and then place the next piece on the bottom of it. After screwing the perimeter, put 2, 1-3/8 screws in the middle of the sheetrock about 12 inches apart, it adds support. Remember again to stagger your joints.
