Multi layered drywall
by Jim

I have removed the plaster walls from my kitchen and will replace with drywall. I will need to layer 2 sheets to achieve the 7/8" thickness as measured when my cabinets were ordered. I will use 3/8" and 1/2" drywall. My question is, should one layer be placed horizontal and one vertical, or both the same direction? How can I minimize the chance of screwing into an underlying screw?
