Default Hanging drywall: up/down or across

Top should be hung first.

Hi,

If I have an 8'x8' wall and I will hang two sheets of drywall on it,
should I hang them vertically or horizontally or does it not matter -
and why.

Many thanks in advance.

Aaron


Doesn't matter. It's easier to hang them horizontally for me. Do the
bottom one, then set the top one on top of it, tack it half way up on each
end and in the middle and then finish up.
