Tip: Use tape measure ruler and utility knife to measure and score sheet at the same time; then snap at the score Check for protrusions in studs/joists before hanging a sheet. Use "Metal Lifter" to lift bottom of sheet slightly off floor and then screw it. Need screw gun with a slip clutch to prevent overdriving drywall screws; it also creates a dimple to set screw head Run the blade of trowel over the drywall surface before taping and mudding to hear/feel any protrusions. Don't rough up or scrape drywall when using tools and sanding because it will cause dull spots under the paint Drywall on ceilings must always run perpendicular to ceiling joists. Bottom chord on trusses rarely runs level so attach strapping to bottom chord (1" by material) lengthwise and level with shims to make perfectly level plane for drywall.
