Replace wall drywall without removing ceiling drywall?
Can a person replace the wall drywall without removing the ceiling drywall? If so how do you cut the wall from the ceiling drywall?

It will also make it easier if you can leave the top 2 or 3" of wall drywall. That way you will just have to flat tape the seam at the top of the wall instead of taping and mudding the whole wall-ceiling corner.

Just for information, your ceiling was installed first (hopefully), so the wall sheetrock is just butted up to it. I do like XSleeper's idea of cutting it short to alleviate corner taping. Especially if your ceiling has a knockdown or other textured surface.
