DIFFICULTY RATING: (3 out of 5 - Moderate)

Finished walls begin with drywall that is level and smooth. Simple tricks will help you hang drywall like a pro.
Step 4: Hang the first sheet of drywall
Start at an inside corner and place the sheet against the studs horizontally, with the bottom edge resting on the floor. Screw the wallboard to one stud using drywall screws. Once the first sheet is attached, snap a line down the studs and onto the face of the drywall so that you have a guide to follow to keep you in line with the studs when driving the screws.
Snap a line along the stud and the face of the drywall for a guide.
