hmmm.... Richardson, Texas... that ain't that far from Houston... need a job? 
I'm not sure I understand. If the sheetrock is hung verically, then I will have a joint every four feet, but those joints will be on the "tapered" edges of the sheetrock so that the seams can be hidden easily. Don't we just float the seam out to where the taper stops, leaving a nice smooth unseen seam?
But if we go horizontal, then we get less seams, but they are done on the non-tapered ends so they are much more difficult to hide?
The texture you mention.... I am going to use the sheetrock as the backdrop. Would the crowsfoot texture pattern show?
