walls and molding

What is the best solution for this dilemma. Interior door frames are plumb but the wall isnt. I know when the drywall sticks out too far I can shave. But what do you do when it is sunk in approx 1/4" or so. What is the best way to install the casing around the door frame when this happens? Other than caulk. Thanks.

Shave down a strip of sheetrock to fill the gap.

Build the shallow area with joint compound.

Shim the casing.

Would someone please explain how to use a T-brace for ceiling....

Please pardon my ignorance on this one. It seems to be a very simple device. But my simple mind can't figure out the details. So, the long 2x4 should be how much longer than the ceiling height? 2 inches? And what is the cross part made from? Width? Also, how do I use it to prop up the drywall to the ceiling? Do I need to hold one end while the t-brace holds up the other? Can the t-brace hold up the entire 4x8 sheet? Please help..... Thanks, Rob
