I'm covering a ceiling which will have exposed beams, and - as the floorboards above were full of worm and needed to be stripped off and burnt - I have the opportunity to lay the plasterboard directly on top of the beams, so the long lateral joints will be arranged/trimmed to occur in the middle of a beam, and so be hidden from view below. However, the room is wider, than the plasterboards are long, thus the need to join boards at their ends. So do you sand the joints down a bit, or scribe a small triangle off the tops/bottom? I've even tried reproducing the taper, but it still seems to leave a visible joint. "Don't think of them as problems, think of them as opportunities."
