Can anyone here help??

I need a link or information that will guide me in installing sheetrock on
the ceiling of a room I have enclosed. The problem is that there is already
plywood on the ceiling and I don't plan on removing it. This was a carport
that I have enclosed. Anyway, I understand about placement of sheetrock,
but since the plywood is currently installed in the way that the sheetrock
is supposed to be installed, do I follow the plywood, or do I put in the
sheetrock in what I would call is perpendicular to the way the ceiling
members run?

The reason I do not want to remove the plywood is that there is blown in
insulation in the attic which includes the part over the carport (now a new
room)


Thanks so much

I see little problem here. I would make sure the plywood is
nailed up tight and I would try to not get my rock joints over a
plywood joint (break them up). Still, put your joints on the
joists, don't just screw to the plywood. Have at it!

I really don't see any problem with screwing the drywall right to the
plywood. as long as the plywood is attached sufficiently

Chances are it is only 1/4", not solid enough to screw to.
