hanging drywall
I am preparing to hang drywall in my basement. It is a walkout basement, that has wallboard on the outside wall and the drywall goes all the way up to the ceiling joists. I have read that the drywall on the ceiling should rest on the walls. Should i try to trim this drywall down so I can fit the ceiling drywall above it?. Any suggestions are appreciated

Normal process is ceiling first then walls. That way the walls don't get dinged/damaged while doing the ceilings. Since your walls are already done, just do the ceiling, not need to trim walls. Fit boards tightly, if practical.
