Questions & AnswersMy name is Shannon Kneip; I'm speaking on behalf of Expert Village. We're now attaching the piece of sheetrock to the ceiling via screws; we've got our studs marked and we have to make sure that we set the screws a little below the surface, in other words so they're dipped in a little bit, that's very important because when we go to mud this in, and smooth out the cracks, or the joints--excuse me--the joints. We want to make sure that when our trowel goes over the screw it doesn't bump or catch on the edge of the screw and create a bump. So we'll create as flat a plane as we possibly can, do a little sanding; then we'll get into the finishing of the edges.
