Josh, believe me, I know what you are talking about. The smart thing to do would be to sub it out. I don't know if I could get a contractor to just do the ceiling though. It is a pretty small job already. Or if they did do just the ceiling, they would probably charge an arm and a leg.
I saw a "sheetrock lift" on the net. It was like a jack on wheels with a frame where you would lay a sheet on it, then it would lift it up to the ceiling. If I can rent one of those, it would be a snap. Or I can build a levertype lift system with some 2x4s. Vicki and I did a small ceiling about 20 years ago.... first house we owned, we did a complete kitchen remodel. Ripped everything out to the studs and started over.
I know I can hang the sheetrock, but what really has me worried is finishing it!
