Ditto on the 1/2 inch sheetrock...Order 14 foot rock for the 13 foot wall
and the ceiling as well if needed to eliminate butts to make it a little
easier for you to finish..Rent a drywall lift as well...You'll be glad you
did...HTH....

I would not go with a 1' strip, but cut the first ceiling board about a
foot and work with a 2' strip at the other end, especially for someone not
used to hanging rock, too easy to break it.

Get some help hanging the 14'ers and the 10'ers. Even with a drywall lift
you will want a helper to make sure both ends are lined up properly. seven
14'ers and four 10'ers will give you only the taper joints and corners.
Those are hard enough for beginners to mud well. Butt joints are a bugger
for beginners.

I hung sheetrock professionally for about 9 months and in all but 1 new
home had 1/2" on ceilings and walls. I worked on about 2 dozen new homes in
that time.

1/2" all around is what I would use. If it is your first time you might
enjoy and benefit from a series of articles I just posted under drywall at
the site in my sig line.

Be happy to answer any questions here in this thread.

For what it's worth, your URL does not work from Google Groups (which
I am forced to use at work).

I get a page that says: The page - www.google.com/www.househomerepair.com
- does not exist.

Typically, when clicking a URL in a post, I would get a "quick" page
that tells me I am be redirected to the page I'm looking for and then
the page appears.

Other than your's, I've never had any problem accessing web pages via
URL's posted in this group.

Yeah, I know..another reason not to use Google groups, but as I said,
I have no choice at work.

Has that always been the case or is it a recent development? Looking at the
malformed link you posted above and even clicking on it makes it very clear
why it does not work.

If it is a new situation I imagine it is just a temporary glitch.

Thanks for telling me about it.

I can't say whether is a recent development or not because I've never
tried your link before.

Other links still work, such as the one in buffalobill's response in
this thread, just not yours.

I'm going to try something...

First I'll paste the complete URL in this response:

http://www.househomerepair.com/

Then I'll copy/paste the string from your post:

www.househomerepair.com

Now I'll post this response and try both links.

Be right back!

You have to have the http:// or the redirect doesn't work, at least
not on my machine.

Okay. Thanks very much. I finally figured out how to edit the sig.

Not really... :-)

The new sig *shows* the http:// but it's not included in the link.

Here's a copy/paste from your post. It looks like there's a space
before the www so the http:// is not part of the URL.

The typical thickness is one-half inch. The ceiling install requires
more screws.
