Summarize the following:
You should use whole drywall sheets when possible when you’re remodeling a room. Use this process for making a sheet smaller to fit the last gap in the wall or in case your sheets are too tall for the room. Hold a tape measure over the gap in the wall to see how big of a piece you need and make note of this number. Bring the tape measure over to your drywall and mark where you need to make your cut in pencil.  Most whole sheets of drywall are 4 ft (1.2 m) wide. Choose a length of 8 ft (2.4 m), 9 ft (2.7 m), 10 ft (3.0 m), or 12 ft (3.7 m), depending on the height of your room. Measure the last gap at the top, middle, and bottom in case your wall is uneven. Lean the sheet of drywall up against a wall at a slight angle of about 45 degrees so you will be cutting it vertically. Obtain a drywall square or T-square, which looks like a large metal ruler with a T at the top, and place it against the drywall. Line up the right edge of your square with the pencil marks on your drywall. If you are left-handed, you may prefer to line up the left edge of the square with your marks. Take a utility knife and press the edge into your drywall at the top where you need to start your cut. Pierce the paper and about half of the gypsum core inside the drywall; this is called “scoring” the drywall. Run the knife downward slowly toward the bottom of the sheet of drywall so your blade doesn’t slip.  Take the knife out and place it at the bottom of the drywall to make the rest of your cut in an upward direction. If you are not tall enough to reach the top of the drywall sheet, you can lay it down on the floor to make your cuts instead. Use a new blade since a dull blade could tear the paper on your drywall. If you are cutting a thin strip narrower than 3 in (7.6 cm) from the edge of your sheet of drywall, cut both the front and the back of the drywall with your utility knife before attempting to break the strip off. Flip the sheet of drywall over and make the same cut on the back. Trying to break a thin strip of drywall after only scoring the front will cause it to break off in many uneven chunks. Stand behind the drywall and hold it up vertically. Hold each side in your hands as you bump the place where you made the cut on the front with your knee. The drywall core will break the rest of the way when you do this.  If the core does not break completely with one bump of your knee, apply more pressure to the unbroken areas with your knee, foot, or fist. If you scored the drywall on the floor, lift the drywall on one side to break the core at your cut. Purchase a drywall rasp, or tool designed for grinding down bumps in drywall, at a home improvement store. Locate any spots in your edge that have uneven bumps or protrusions and place the rasp there. Apply pressure to the area as you rub the rasp back and forth over the bump to grind it away. If you have very large bumps because the core broke unevenly, use your utility knife to carve these pieces away before using the rasp to file them down. If you need to cut the drywall again on a different side, repeat the steps by flipping the sheet around and leaning it against the wall. Measure and mark where you need to make another vertical cut, score it using your square and utility knife, and break the core by applying pressure to the cut.  Hang your drywall after you have finished making it the size that you need it to be. If your section of drywall is slightly too large, shave it with a rasp until it fits.

summary: Measure where you need to cut your drywall with a tape measure. Hold a drywall square or T-square against the drywall where you need to cut it. Run a utility knife along your square to cut the paper and some of the drywall core. Score both the front and back to cut a thin strip. Stand the drywall up and bump it with your knee to break the core completely. Smooth the edge of your cut with a rasp. Repeat measuring, scoring, and breaking your drywall to make a cut on another side.

Sometimes, depression can make someone feel isolated, alone, or withdrawn from others. Spending time with people you care about is one of the easiest ways to reduce stress and feel better and more balanced in your mood. Spend time with friends and family in person as much as you can. While technology makes texting or emailing easy, you’ll benefit more from seeing someone face-to-face.  Have a weekly get-together with friends or family over dinner. Meet your friends for a workout class or for coffee. You may find that socializing wears you out more quickly when you're depressed. It is okay to rest and have alone time afterward, just make sure that you are socializing regularly and not isolating yourself. Exercise is a great way to beat stress, feel energized, and balance your mood. In some studies, exercise is just as effective as medication in treating mild to moderate depression. Schedule your exercise during a part of the day when your energy is highest. This may be first thing in the morning or during your lunch break. If you don’t like going to the gym, focus on other physical activities that you enjoy.   For example, take a morning walk with your dog or start attending karate classes.  Don’t be afraid to start small. Even 10 minutes each day is better than nothing. Feeling relaxed can help you cope with the symptoms of depression, deal with stress, and increase your feelings of well-being. Spending time relaxing can help you work through stress and help to stabilize your moods. Aim to do a relaxing activity for 30 minutes each day. Watching TV doesn’t count! Find relaxation methods that feel good to you. Try  daily yoga, qi gong, tai chi, and meditation. Feeling depressed can make you isolate yourself and withdraw from activities you enjoy. Do something you enjoy or try a new hobby and stick with it, even when you dread leaving the house. Doing something you enjoy can help boost your mood and increase your self-esteem. Creating something (like woodwork or sewing) can bring satisfaction.  Try painting, planting a garden, or learning a new language. If you feel like skipping the activity, try telling yourself you will just go for 20 or 30 minutes and then you can leave if you're still not feeling it. You may find that, once you get over the hump of getting out, you will enjoy yourself and want to stay. The foods you put into your body can affect how you feel. Avoid substances such as tobacco, alcohol, caffeine, and sugar, as these can affect your mood. Focus on eating several small meals throughout the day in order to maintain your energy levels. Pay attention to your nutrition to make sure you are eating healthy, balanced meals that contribute to your health, not take away from it. If you struggle with eating healthfully or have dietary restrictions, consider working with a dietician to help you eat better.
summary: Spend time with friends. Exercise regularly. Practice relaxation. Enjoy a hobby. Eat healthfully.
