I have a detached garage that is kind of unique. It is a
metal building sort of like a pole barn. The inside walls
are 2x4 24 inches on center directly bolted to a concrete
slab. Trusses are 4 feet on center.

I am thinking of drywalling walls and installing white
metal on the ceiling.

I am going to hang drywall vertically to eliminate butted
seams "except in the corners". Building is 30x30.

1. If done this way, each tapered seam will be on a single
stud. Is this good or bad?

2. The corners of the walls are not framed like a house
exactly. If I use drywall clips and attach each corner
piece to the same corner studd for inside corners, will
this eliminate or prevent cracking? (Or will it make it
worse).

3. The insulation paper is on top of the studs. I thought
about cutting a foot of the paper off each studd in three
places and putting adhesive on these areas to contact the
drywall and still use screws to help eliminate popping. (I
hate to take off all the paper.) Is this a good or bad idea?

I live in Southern Kentucky climate. Garage is unheated
unless I am in there with a kerosene heater working. i live
in the country and a pristine job is not required but I
want to do the best I can.

Thanks!

I don't have the experience to give you much of a response but I can mention
one important thing: Give particular attention to the vapor barrier and
if/how it'll be installed. Metal likes to condense water on its warm side
and if there's nowhere for the moisture to go, it'll rot the studs and
depending on what kind of footer was used, possibly the footers too.
The only thing I'm sure of is that you can never use multiple vapor
barriers; one only. Considering where you are, you might not even want/need
a vapor barrier; I'd check around and ask questions of your local code
control office; they'll have the last word on everything anyway. Perhaps
someone knowldgeble will show up here; just be sure to verify any info you
get from the internet or groups.
