      I recently finished an attic like this myself. I’m guessing she is using trim where the gap is. It’s much cheaper to install trim in high joint areas like attics, not to mention, it will look better with trim. Have you priced what the going rate for a finished attic is with smooth drywall?

      ​@@billdavis6978she isn't going to sleep with you, just give it up. Taping one joint is a lot quicker than finishing and installing all that trim. But either way, that gap is still too wide to not mess up the miters and how the trim is fastened.

    I'm no pro but I've been hanging drywall all of my life and finish pretty good too but there shouldn't be a gap like that and you should stagger your butt joints and the sheet should be cut to break in the middle of the stud. This wasn't for expansion or for ventilation. She simply put her little helper 2X4 too far down and figured just go with it. Who uses those 2X4's anyways? We used to go hang all the lids (ceilings) with two guys and then split up and hang the walls by ourselves. It was nothing to do a 150 sheet apartment in a day as long as it wasn't all chopped up (lots of closets or wrapped windows etc) There's no shame in renting a drywall lift to do the ceilings and get those joints tight. As for the butt joints, like I said, you should stagger them and here she has two butt joints breaking on the same rafter/joice which is a no go because it will crack when the house settles.

    Gap in the middle, no board to scew into on one end, the other isn't split on the stud for the next piece. Have fun finishing that.

    Congratulations ladies. It took you until now to discover how to install drywall.
    Good job men worked out how to do it the day drywall sheet was invented or you would not have modern homes to sit in while being all empowered.
