Hey all, hope you guys well
We are about to begin taking of the ceiling with texture in the hallway and I'm trying to plan ahead before we start the job. I`only helped install drywall once in my life when I was a kid but a lot of research and logic should help
hopefully anyway!
Below image represents our ceiling downstairs (approx.), as soon as you walk into the house, the door is shown at the top. The ceiling is outlined with Yellow lines, the Plasterboard sheet are red rectangles and 4 circles are planned down lights.
My theory is, if I use biggest sheets I will have less joints to worry about and less imperfections to correct later.
I've drawn up two options with biggest sheets which both result in only 2 joints but in different setup, I am leaning towards Option 1 as you not joining everything in the same place but the join line is close to one of the downlights, approx 75mm to edge of the light. I am not experienced to know which would give best results / strength.
Another question is, whats the best method / technique to join this outside corner once we lay new sheet?
Am I correct in thinking a "Stop Bead" is required to meet up to the vertical wall then plaster?

Would appreciate to hear your opinion on any of the above, especially if you have experience in any of the above
I enjoy doing / learning things like that myself and not afraid to fail, although I do try and do thorough research before starting
Thank you in advance
P.S - Maybe its worth creating a "House Build" thread considering we are redoing a lot in the house
