Installation's what you did. There's NO benefit nor advantage to the
Horizontal Installation. It's the dumbest practice that ruins new everything
right from the start and provides poor fire protection.

How does it provide poor fire protection? Horizontal instalation
makes it a whole lot easier to hide the joints too, which is why
expert drywallers almost ALWATS install the panels horizontally - and
use sheets longer than 8 feet.


The bedrooms in my house are all about 10x11 end are entered via a narrow hallway.
I can get 10 or 12 footers into the end bedrooms, but forget about getting them in the
middle bedroom or the bathroom. No way.
