Hey there, I'm just starting to do my drywall and I don't have a clue as what to do. Mind you many people have given me their two cents worth. So, here are my questions: What size sheets should I use? 12', 10', 8' If I have to make a joint, is it better to have a larger gap or try to make it as tight as possible? I'll be using drywall screws, do I put them 2 of them 2" apart, every 6"? Do I screw the drywall right to the edge on the ceiling or have the wall drywall force that up? In the bathroom, I have a corner shower stall, do I put the drywall over the shower edge or underneather? Any help would be greatly appreciated. :)

Hi all, I am a computer guy so I know little to nothing about building walls etc but I like doing it and I have an old house to fix up. The house is mostly covered outside with some of that thick cardboard sheating and tar paper and then siding sheets of 4x8. I need to complete the project so I got some OSB for the unfinished areas where we tore down an old garage and plan to put the OSB and then paper on that and then the siding. I dont know all the cool rules but does this sound okay/right? Not sure if I should put the paper over the OSB, I think it is 5/16 OSB. Any other tips or tricks for this project. Searched the net like mad but cant find any good links on the basics of exterior walls so I can read up on it. Please send them if you got them.
