Sheetrockers Secrets
By Alan Ruffell

Hanging Sheetrock for the Ceiling

Doing Sheetrock for your 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 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 in the middle about 12 inches apart in order to hold it in place before screwing the borders. Always remember to stagger your joints like laying brick. Make sure that you put 3 screws in the middle of the sheet rock after you screw the border.

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 sheet rock about 12 inches apart, it adds support. Remember again to stagger your joints.

This is your first step to your sheetrocking Home Remodeling Project
