I think higher ceiling work best in larger rooms - say 6m +. They tend

make a room more of a chore to heat.

Anyway, plasterboarding ceilings really wears me out these days - and
thats with 3x6 boards - I used to use 4x8.


I've managed a few 4 x 8 sheets with the help of props, but it's a
miserable thing to do.

I had some plasterers in to overboard three ceilings. All 3 of them
used chopped up board - never more than 4 x 4. One of them used lots of
much smaller pieces. Could be a moral there . . .

As you say, 8 x 4 are 'kin heavy. I bought a board lifter for the
cottage job. Around £100 but available second hand, I happen to have one
spa-) Makes single handed boarding easy.

On the architects question, I think they must work in multiples of 400
and 600mm.
