Planning to install drywall? These quick tips could help save you time and frustration. First, store your drywall flat to prevent damage to the edges. Then, to make attachment quicker, snap a chalk line on each sheet to indicate the joists or stud centers underneath. Always start attaching from the center and work your way out.
Installing drywall for a ceiling can be tough, especially if you don't have much help. But braces can almost do the work of one person. To make your braces, just measure the exact height from floor to ceiling, and then subtract the width of your drywall. Cut two-by-fours to that length and use them to help hold the drywall in place while you fasten the screws.

From elevations of about 2,000 ft (610 m) on the Cumberland Plateau in the southeast, where Black Mt. (4,145 ft/1,263 m) marks the state's highest point, Kentucky slopes to elevations of less than 800 ft (244 m) along the western rim. The narrow valleys and sharp ridges of the mountain region are noted for forests of giant hardwoods and scented pine and for springtime blooms of laurel, magnolia, rhododendron, and dogwood. Unfortunately, these forests have suffered from the effects of acid rain. To the west, the plateau breaks in a series of escarpments, bordering a narrow plains region interrupted by many single conical peaks called knobs. Surrounded by the knobs region on the south, west, and east and extending as far west as Louisville is the bluegrass country, the heart and trademark of the state.
