Butt the ceiling to the wall, or the wall to the ceiling?

[chrisbyrd]

Hi All

My job over the christmas break is to put up the new ceiling, and dry line 2 of the walls in the lounge

I'm using 12mm plasterboard for both (is that ok?)

I'm trying to decide if I should put the ceiling up first, and then butt the dry lining upto the ceiling, or the other way round - put the 'walls' up first, then butt the ceiling up to that

is there a usual way to do it, or does it not really matter?

no, i'm not living in it over xmas

thanks all

PUT CEILING UP FIRST.. THEN THE WALLS ,, HAV FUN

Always ceiling first.

When putting up the wall plaster boards keep the ceiling edge flush, a few slight gaps at the floor will cover with skirting board.

1/2 inch board will be ok.
