Drywall - Interior Hallways

The interior hallway space is proving to be a bit of a challenge because both inside and outside angles are not simple 90 angles.  On top of that, not every corner is truly plumb which creates a problem of how to butt two drywall panels up to each other making a suitable transition from one panel to the next.  Inside corners are not so difficult as they will be taped over and made seamless.

It's the outside corners that are a PIA!
Not 90degrees...and not plumb floor to ceiling
Normally outside corners consist of a 90 metal strip that is tacked on and then mudded over.  But, since several corners are not 90 corners, normal corner moldings won't work.  That said, technically it's not my issue since I will contract out the mudding and taping of the walls.  Still, though, I need to be sure the drywall butts cleanly up to each other so later when the mudding is done, the infrastructure is there to support good work.

Another problem area.... 

Where two walls converge to form an end of a wall.  Not square and not plumb.  Not sure I'm THAT good at math!

Aside from that.....

More later!
