Howdy,
Does it matter if I use 5/8" or 1/2" sheetrock to finish the LL ceiling? I'd preferred 5/8" because of better sound barrier.
THX!

It is heavier to handle but thicker is better. Use screws, not nails. Make sure you buy the correct length screws.

Will 1-1/4" drywall screws do?

If you''re working with sixteen inch centres, use the 5/8's. One and a half inch screws. Double screw.
