Gonna be helping a friend build a new house after a complete burnout. His
ceilings are going to be 9'. what is the standard procedure for
drywalling 9' walls?

thanks

If you can't find the wider board or choose not to pay the price consider
hanging 2 four foot boards. One at the top and one at the bottom.

Use 3/8" non tapered, well planned edges for the center band. By the time
you finish the double joints you will have a really smooth wall and only use
a little extra mud and tape. You will get 3 cuts from each 3/8" board using
this method.

I have done this more than once with very pleasing results each time.
