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.

Nicknamed the “Mountain State,” West Virginia is very hilly and rugged, with the highest mean altitude (1,500 ft/457 m) of any state E of the Mississippi. Nearly all of the state is on the Allegheny Plateau, with the jagged Virginia–West Virginia line roughly following the eastern escarpment of the plateau (known as the Allegheny Front). Extremely irregular in outline, West Virginia has two narrow projections—the Northern Panhandle, which cuts north between Ohio and Pennsylvania, and the Eastern Panhandle, which cuts east between Maryland (with the Potomac River forming the state line) and Virginia. In the Eastern Panhandle, a part of the Appalachian ridge and valley country, lie the state's lowest point (240 ft/73 m) near Harpers Ferry where the Shenandoah River joins the Potomac, as well as its highest point, Spruce Knob (4,860 ft/1,481 m).
