Getting ready to put up 1/2" sheetrock (interior walls, not garage), attaching to wood 2x4 studs. Should I use coarse or fine sheetrock screws? Is 1 1/4" length ok or should I use longer screws. Code here says one screw every 12", along each stud. Think I should put up top sheet butted up to ceiling first and work my way down. Is this correct? Any thoughts on using sticky mesh tape instead of paper tape (I don't mind the extra cost if it will make the job easier/better) Thanks!

[h=2][/h]I'm trying this question here to see if someone can help me out. I realize this is a ceiling/fascia but it's the same issue that would apply to a unlevel ceiling/wall and trying to mask it or hide the problem with trim if it's possible.[ATTACH]1122[/ATTACH] [COLOR=#333333][INDENT]Hi all, I'm new here and have a bit of a dilemma with a century house porch with sun roof over it. I have pulled down all the existing covering, properly supported the beams and whatnot. I didn't jack it up, since everthing has settled over the past 100 years and figured I'd do more damage then good. So here's the problem I have strapped the porch ceiling and it also has fascia on the inside portiong of the porch. It has been sided in cottage pine but there is a two inch or so slant towards the front of the house making the fascia portion appear very slanted. My question is there anyway where the ceiling meets the facscia that I can at least mask the slant or make it less obvious ? I was wondering if crown molding would work, I'm not really sure. I'm kind of at loss on how to cover this area with trim. I just want to create the optical illusion that it's a bit more level then it is. My sketch is a rough idea of how it looks. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. regards P.[/INDENT] [/COLOR]
