I'm having a go at this dry lining, and contrary to most advice I'm using Fermacell (all previous comments re Fermacell are spot on, I'm using 1200x1200 boards) I've been making all my mistakes in a walk-in wardrobe where they won't be easily seen and have now ventured into the spare room to see what more mistakes I can make in what will be a seldom seen room which leads to my question. We have inward opening windows. The airtight tape is fixed to the timber frame and wraps around onto the window frame by about 30mm. The gap between the internal reveal and the inward opening casement is about 50mm. It looks to me like it's going to be difficult to get into this space between the reveal and the inward opening casement on the hinge side. A bit of plywood packing first so that the Fermacell will hide the tape should do it but then how do I get the FST on to the Fermacell or, indeed, paint it, on that hinge side. Is there a simple way? Alternatively I guess I could line the reveal with timber that is finished prior to fitting? Easy to say...

Just about to start, the boards arrive tomorrow, fitting the Plaster Board (PB) to the internal framing which I have created folowing my previous post on drylining. So I guess I need the tools and techniques. 1. What is the best way to cut plasterboard - is it just Stanley knife or should I get a saw of some sort. 2. When cutting out for sockets etc is there are a technique and again a tool. 3. There are only 40 boards in the garden room but 170 in the house. Is now the time to buy the collated screwdriver Any suggestions?

I am about to start boarding out the garden room with dry lining board. In a couple if places the runs are greater than the 2 400mm and so I will have to form end on joints. The question is how to finish these joints using a dry lining approach. Side to side joins are easy because of the thinning of the board edges but when jointing end on no such provision is obvious so any tape will be quite proud and I am worried the joint will be visible. Any suggestions? Can you get boards with thinned edges all round?
