Good info Rusty. On 4X8 sheets, I run down the center, then across the middle. After that, I go to the center and work out one quarter of the panel at a time towards the outside edge. I always nail or staple the edges last.

I know a lot of DIYers and even contractors that nail the seams first, then the center of the panel last, after they get all the panels down...... wrong, wrong, wrong.

I do it the same way you do Highup.
