There are classes offered by Lowe's and Home Depot, you could also see many how to video's on line. I think that one thing most don't show or talk about is the amount of labor placed on one's back.
@Temeka..One way to get involved in home improvements is to volunteer at a local Habitat for Humanity. The organizers will give you a crash course on many aspects of home building. Sheetrocking a room is a DIY job but I would leave the taping and spackleing to a professional.
Hi Temeka..I am always patching or putting in new drywall. In a basement make sure you have a moisture barrier on the walls first, or all the work you've just done will mold. Ceilings are very difficult and heavy. You may want to gather friends for this. After you have viewed videos on the basics of hanging drywall, I suggest trying the HGTV site, and depending on how you want to finish the room, you may want to consult finishers to plaster coat the finishing touches.
Hi Temeka, make sure you use " Yellow board " this is a drywall that is backed with fiberglass it will not rot and mildew . You may not need it on your ceiling but the walls for sure. Kevin

At the very least, I would pay someone to hang, tape and texture the ceiling. You can then prime and paint it.
Like Hudson says, it is a back breaker, especially the ceilings.
For the walls, you could also panel them instead of drywalling.
That would be much faster and easier on the back!
