Amateur Drywall Hanging

Hello -
I am going to attempt to finish up my remodeling project with some
drywall hanging. I have never done this before and wanted to try and
knock it out myself before bringing in the professionals to finish it
off. I have been reading up on the subject matter and have gathered a
few tips, but there is one I didn't see alot on.
Should I drywall my bathrooms with the green board instead? Is it worth
it? And should I always do the ceiling first?
Tips:
- Most likely hanging horizontally
- Hang top piece first
- Using screws
- Start at the doors.
Anything else?
Thanks for the suggestions.
Others have pretty well covered your questions.
One thing that I am repeatedly reminded myself how dumb I was that I
didn't do it:
Take a picture of the bare framing and wiring (all 4 walls and ceiling)
before covering. It is amazing how often since I did my whole house
rehab that I have needed to locate a stud and couldn't remember where
the 16" spacing started or just where the wiring ran.
