Question Hang Walls From Top Down or Bottom Up?

Do you hang walls from the top down, or bottom up?

Top down, or you will have a gap at the top instead of at the bottom. Walls are a little over 8' and 9'.

Although there are those times we will start from the bottom and work up, such as the end walls of vaulted/cathedral ceilings. Always works out better for us doing it that way
