Is this a problem? upside down drywall?

I had some really difficult angles to work with for cutting drywall for the ceiling. I spent all this time making sure my measurements were exact only to find after cutting that I did it from the wrong perspective. This is the first layer of drywall (will be 2 when done). So when I went to hang it I discovered it has to be hung with the brown paper side down instead of the nicer side. So did I waste my Saturday? Or is it OK to have this? I feel like it's OK since this is the first layer, but I need to make sure with you guys!

Not a problem from any technical point of view. I think the paper might be marginally thicker on the "front" face but thats all.

Not a problem.

Sup? :) My day job is being a drywall finisher/contractor, and I'll tell ya, it makes absolutely no difference at all,,, it will all finish. the back side just gets a little more mud. The only thing that "is" different other than the paper, is the front side has 2 factory recesses that run the long way of the board that when hung together form a trough for the tape and mud to be applied to fill the trough in and make it level. these joints are called "flats". The 2 ends that are not beveled, are called "But Joints" and after they are taped and mudded they more likely than not have to be run on both sides , then lightly down the middle to make them appear flat and smooth,,this is called "Busting a But Joint". The back side has no recesses so everything is a But Joint. Dont sweat it bro, even all of our Pro :roll: hangers boff one every now and again, or have a piece that needs hung and have a scrap piece that will work if it is cut from the back. If we have a board that is backward, we just white wash it with a thin coat of mud,,(wax on--wax off) so to speak and it will finish out just like the rest :wink: So if your drywall man is leaving some but joints(or any joint for that matter ) crowned and you can see the hump,,just ask him to "bust them out a little further" Just a little tip from your friendly neighborhood Drywall Man :lol: Actually I'm just killing time, drinking my coffee waiting on the wife to get ready to go out and eat breakfast. 8) MOSH ON DAVE
