Q: Will ceiling-mounted curtains damage the ceiling over time?

• <div><p>Ceiling-mounted curtains won&rsquo;t damage the ceiling if they&rsquo;re installed properly. Using the right anchors or securing the brackets into joists will ensure the curtain weight is properly supported and prevent damage. However, overtightening screws, using weak anchors, or repeatedly removing and reinstalling hardware in the same spot can cause cracking or sagging over time. In that case, you might have to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/who-to-call-for-ceiling-repair.htm">call a pro for ceiling repair</a>. </p></div>

Q: Does it matter which side of drywall you use?

• <div><p>Yes, it matters which side of drywall you use. One side is smooth, and the other is rough. The smooth side should be facing outward, toward the room, while the rough side should be hidden and facing the studs and framing of the house. The smooth side will be easier to apply tape, joint compound, and, later, paint to.</p></div>

Q: What are the most common drywall issues seen by professionals?

• <div><p>Cracks, water damage, and holes from fixtures or impact.</p></div>

Q: Can you hang a 50-pound mirror on drywall?

• <div><p>A 50-pound mirror can be hung on drywall, but only if it has the support of strong hardware. Ideally, you can find the studs behind the drywall and attach the mirror to them; this will give your mirror better stability. Otherwise, confirm that you are using anchors appropriate to the weight of the mirrors. Another technique is to use French cleats&mdash;two pieces of wood that fit together, with one piece attached to the wall and the other to the mirror. This allows the weight to be distributed over a wider area.</p></div>

Q: Do you sand plaster wet or dry?

• <div><p>While it&rsquo;s most common to sand plaster dry, it is possible to wet-sand plaster, too. Doing so can reduce the amount of plaster dust released into the air and make it easier to work in smaller, more delicate areas (such as around wall trim). However, some people find that wet sanding leads to more imperfections, which is why larger walls are more often dry sanded to ensure an even finish.</p></div>
