Answers: How do you hang drywall on wood studs and avoid common beginner mistakes?

• drywall installation techniques
• framing and stud alignment
• measuring and cutting drywall
• screw placement and depth
• shimming uneven walls and corners

What it concludes

• Drywall sheets should generally be hung horizontally on wood framing to add structural strength perpendicular to the framing members.
• Always measure and work your way around a room, butt-joining next sheets up to the previous ones to ensure tight joints.
• Ceiling sheets should be hung first so that wall sheets butt up against the ceiling without leaving a gap.
• Check the framing and corner beads with a level before hanging drywall to identify unevenness that requires shimming.
• Shim drywall studs or corner beads that stick out too far to avoid creating large humps in the finished wall.
