Next weeks task, plasterboarding a ceiling. Any tips I should be aware
of, never done any plasterboarding at all.

Probably plenty in the archives on this... however a couple of tips.

1) Mark the joist positions carfully so you know where to screw.

2) Make yourself a deadman prop - i.e. a length of 2x1" a couple of
inches longer than the floor to ceiling length. Screw a length across
the top to make a large "T". You can then lift the board into place and
wedge it there with the prop.

3) Get some long enough drywall screws and a suitable shrouded bit for
the drill driver - like:

slap the drill on high ish speed and stick em in on appox a 400mm c/c grid.
