Hello. I tore down a lath and plaster ceiling a while back and I'm ready to replace it with drywall.
The room is 4m by 3.4m (into the alcove). I was thinking of ordering 4 sheets of 12' x 4' and then fill in the remaining area with 8' x 3' sheets. This is to minimize the joins to fill in.
I've never drywalled a boggin thing before in my life. So if you can offer advice on any of the following, I'd appreciate it very much.
Tapered edge sheets/square edge ::.pros and cons?
In a pefect world I will be able to slap 2 coats of paint on it and it will look fantastic but whats the reality?
With a 10' high ceiling I'm gonna need to hire a panel lifter...Pros and cons..best deal?
But mostly concerned that the joists don't present a perfectly level surface and that it will result in dents or hollows to the finished surface. Advice on this please?
Thanks
Arthur.
