I am preparing to drywall the ceiling and walls of a new addition with trusses 24″ o. c. I’m concerned about the drywall attaching to the trusses securely. I would like to screw and glue 1/2″ board. Do I need clips? Should I use 5/8″?.
I am also concerned about truss bow on the corners where walls meet ceiling near the center of the trusses. I’ll be doing the work in September… still quite hot around here then. Should I consider boarding those walls before their ceilings and flat taping the ceiling to allow some slide? Maybe It’s something that I just have to deal with by normal corner taping methods and hide with crown molding if it ever pulls loose?
