How to fix gaps at ceiling and around window?
I have just moved into this tiny home and the last owner half did the gib-board and stopping but there are some big gaps and rough edges all over the place. Looking for advice for a complete beginner as to how I should fill these gaps?
Gap in the corner is about 15mm (photo 1)
Gap at the ceiling at its largest point is 30mm (photo 2)
Gap above the window is about 10mm. (photo 2)
All help greatly appreciated! Many thanks!

Re: How to fix gaps at ceiling and around window?
Hello @Rik
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about your gib board.
It appears that the gaps are too big, and I suggest cutting and replacing part of the gib so that you have tighter tolerances.
Here is a link to the plasterboard installation manual: Gyprock Install Manual
Here are some handy step-by-step guides:
