I stood the drywall up rather than laying it down. At each rolled edge after the drywall was finished I put another piece of ruff cut lumber (1x6") over top the taper edge from the chair rail up to the acoustic ceilings wall molding.
Did this alleviate the need to tape and mud the GWB? If you're covering it up with a trim mould.....why finish it?
(If that's the case.....I'm all for it). Kinda makes a great expansion joint, too, if it's not monolithic.
Don't forget to add blocking if you use hat channel or z furring to fur the wall so you have a place to attach your mounts and misc other things. The wood is much easier to work with for hanging decorations.
Great catch. Advice taken.
Bowman....LOVE the wallpaper. That's a great idea! Thanks.
