* Install protector plates where wires or pipes pass through framing members and are less than 11⁄4" from the front edge. The plates keep drywall screws from puncturing wires
or pipes.
* Wrap water pipes along the ceiling with foam insulation before covering them with drywall. This prevents condensation on the pipes that can drip onto the drywall and cause
staining.
* Mark the location and dimensions of electrical boxes on the floor. This makes it easier to locate them during drywall installation.
