Hey!
We've just started renovating a house from 1929. I was thinking of replacing the old tongue and groove in the ceiling with drywall. Now that I've pulled everything down, I realize I don't quite know how to join the existing drywall with the new ones. As you can see in the pictures below, the finish isn't completely straight.
How can I solve this most smoothly without having to drywall the entire room?
Regards,
Carl

Make the ending straighter by lowering the ceiling slightly, if necessary. Bevel the plasterboards at the joint and fit them tightly against each other, and use tec7 in the seam. This way, you won't have to do a lot of unnecessary spackling and can use the boards that are in the slanted ceiling.
That's how I would (and do in my own project)!
