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.
Yes the only finishing I did was spot the screws. That is why I used the ruff cut lumber as I do not enjoy finishing drywall. Actually looked pretty good set up like that.
Another tip is if you go this route make surelay out your framing so youhave equal drywall "borders" on each end of the wall. Much like if you werelaying out an acoustic grid ceiling. Know what I am saying? If not each end of the wall would look odd with different spacing from the corner to your 1X6 taper edge covering.
About the monolithic comment.... I am not sure how you could ever have a drywall system that is monolithic unless you glued it to a block or concrete wall.....????Even then I don't think itcould be considered monolithic as it would still be a panel system with seams and or butt joints.

I have a dual sump pump setup in my basement.... Most homes outside city limits don't have floor drains as there is no city sewer service.
