Can you let me know which way the plastervoards should run, with the
trusses or against them (long edge of the board) and which way up,
smooth paper side or rough.

I think they should run with the truss timber, and my brother thinks
they should run against, i think they should go smoothside down
(plaster face) and he thinks rough.


50/50. Across the joists, and smooth side down.

A also think the short ends of the boards will be OK butted together
unsupported as the centres are only 360mm.


Not really. At least they should be taped up before skimming

As you can tell neither of us are plasterers !! and I cant remember
which we we put up the rest of the house five years ago !!!
