Q: Do you hang drywall on the ceiling or wall first?

• <div><p>It's generally recommended to hang drywall on the ceiling first before moving on to the walls. This sequence allows the ceiling sheets to provide support for the vertical wall sheets. By attaching the ceiling drywall initially, you establish a solid framework to align and attach the wall panels accurately. This method ensures a seamless and sturdy connection between the ceiling and walls, resulting in a more professional finish.</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: Can drywall mudding be done in one day?

• <div><p>Drywall mudding can be done in one day if the project is small and the desired effect isn&rsquo;t too complex. If you need multiple layers of mud, one day may not be realistic. But a single room that requires little more than joint compound on the seams and screws can be done in a day or two.</p></div>

Q: Do I have to use studs for a TV mount?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s highly recommended to use studs for a TV mount. The last thing you want is to be watching your favorite show when the TV falls off the wall. Studs are much stronger than drywall and quite a bit stronger than drywall anchors but, if you can&rsquo;t find the studs or there simply aren&rsquo;t any where you need them, you can use drywall anchors. It&rsquo;s extremely important to make sure the anchors are rated for the load of the TV. We recommend using anchors that are rated far beyond the weight of whatever you&rsquo;re hanging. Our suggestion is metal drywall toggle anchors. </p></div>

Q: Can I use a utility knife to cut outlet holes in drywall?

• <div><p>A utility knife is sharp enough to score the drywall and it may work in a pinch for outlet box holes. However, one of the best <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-tools-are-needed-drywall-repair.htm">tools for drywall</a> when you need to make exact cuts for an outlet box quickly is a drywall saw. This handheld tool has a longer blade than a utility knife, so it penetrates the thickness of the drywall easily. The design of its handle and the teeth in its blade make it easier to control while cutting quicker than you can with a utility knife.</p></div>
