"Very rude. No introduction when he came over, just a "the gas company shut off your water heater, you didn't pay the bill". Well, I explained, I just bought this house, was told it was all electric and had hot water for 2 months. Eyeroll and tapped the pipes "gas, gas, gas. You didn't pay the bill". Again, I was told by my realtor the house is all electric. Eyeroll again. "You will be paying $500 for not paying the bill". Ok, so I will call the gas company then. Had to pay the service fee even if there was no service. I said I was going to use the credit card and he said $103 with credit card. If he just told me the day before that there is an extra $3 for credit card, I could have just gone to the bank to withdraw cash. By the way, this is my first time to own a home with a tankless water heater and they were a contractor of 2-10 Choice Warranty."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

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.

Whether you apply the drywall mesh before or after drywall mud depends on the type of patch it is. For self-adhesive patches, you’ll put the patch down first and then coat it with mud. Mesh patches that are not self-adhesive will require you to put mud down first and then press the mesh into it, followed by additional coats of mud.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

It doesn’t matter which way you lay drywall, and you can choose to install it horizontally or vertically depending on the size of the wall and how tall the ceiling is. It’s easier to lay drywall sheets vertically if you have a taller ceiling, but laying sheets horizontally makes it easier to apply joint compound.

Drywall anchors aren’t necessary if there’s a stud behind the wall where you’ll be working. Studs are strong enough to support screws on their own, but they don’t run throughout the wall. If you’re doing a project that involves the entire wall and not just one part (like hanging a small painting or photo), odds are you’ll need drywall anchors at some point in the process.
