I don't remember how I did the sheet rock on the ceiling of my garage. It was a REAL PITA because the local codes called for heavier sheet rock on the ceiling and wall next to the house. Fire protection.

I know it required a whole lot of grunting & a liberal use of all the four letter words I knew. I quickly realized that screwing the sheets down was far easier than attempting to nail them.

That will be a very nice looking ceiling.

I was working in a farm fertilyzer plant building applicators. I bootlegged a homemade sheet rock jack that turns a PIA into an incredibly easy job. Were I facing anohter ceiling project I would rent a jack. Flop sheet on it, jack it almost up, adjust for theexact position, jack tight then sit bacvk and nail or screw it at liesure.
