    Drywall Ceiling for 21' x 14' Room
    I need advice on hanging drywall on the ceiling in this room. The joists run in the 14' direction and are 16" on center. I have 4x8 and 4x12 drywall sheets available to use. How would you suggest that I layout the sheets? I have attached a possible layout. Please feel free to comment, critique, advise, etc. Thanks!
