If you can't be bothered to fully explain your project and then ask a question or two, why would you think any of the pros here would bother to give you free advice that does not benefit us one bit? YICKS!! Jaz

The gap is covered by base moulding.....you can do it in whatever order you want, but I agree that it is better to hang, tape and texture the sheetrock first....i would even paint first.
