We have 9 ft ceilings so I ordered 54" wide sheetrock..12 ft long..
Two horizontal 54's is 9 feet.
That was for 2 of our downstairs bedrooms and bath.
Its hard to lift the big 54's UP though so for the next phase, I'm ordering
9 Ft sheets x 48" and will be going vertically.
That gives me ALL tapered edges to tape and mud..no butt joints.
