The reason I asked is maybe if you ran your rock the other direction on the ceiling you wouldn't have that butt joint you are talking about. Didn't know if the left over rock would fit that bottom wall. If you have 16" centers i can understand you running the rock the way you did though.
Sucks having to do that by yourself. Wish I lived close to you and you can bet your ass i would help you. Plus I slung mud for many years.

They're 16" centers. The ceiling is 60" wide which if I went cross ways I would have 36" ends left over. The sides are 42", so I couldn't have used them there. Now that you mention it, though, I could have used two 36" sections on the slanted parts. Lots of extra tape, but I wouldn't be struggling to hang them.

I would temporarily screw a 2x4 in the area where I made the red line.
Set the bottom of my sheet rock on the 2x4, screw the top, work my way to the bottom, move the 2x4 to the next position, wash rinse repeat.

I'm definitely going to try this. I was thinking of all sorts of complicated holding rigs, but that's so simple it has to work...

Ran into a small snag hanging sheet rock. The slanted sections are 65" tall which leaves me short sections that I can use on the ceiling. But by myself I haven't managed to hold the 65" board in place long enough to get some screws into it. Worse, the angle I am at makes it difficult to judge where the studs are. I'm going to chalk line the studs on the board in the morning and try again. That's assuming I can still raise my arms over my head.

I have done it a lot. I have no doubt it will work.

It turned out to be a 1/2" piece of plywood, but it worked really well. I also put six screws halfway into the board before I picked it up, so I wouldn't drop the screw gun when I tried to load it with one hand. I can't believe it still works after being dropped so many times!

There are still a little gap at the top, but that is something I know how to fix.

Anyway, I ran out of insulation two boards early. So it's back to Home Depot in the morning.

Can you put a strap around the top section while screwing from bottom up removing strap as you go+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I was close to adding supports so I could hang 48" panels. Not sure it would have worked with the finicky Harbor Freight wheels on it. Hadn't thought to use a strap, but that might have worked.

Tape and bed will fix that. Looks great brother 👍

The simplest solutions are usually the best.
You got it on the run, now.
 
Home Depot didn't open until 9AM, and by then my wife was awake and wanting to go, and to take the dog. Somewhere around 2:00, after taking her to lunch, drinking two beers, and walking the dog, I was ready to hang the insulation I could have bought 5 hours earlier.

I did manage to finish the top ceiling, even the area behind the camera. I have seven more boards to hang on the left. The sides will be easy, though I need to build doors for the openings I made for storage. Last is the stairs which I have some ideas for a scaffold on 2X4 rails. I could probably skip the drywall, just add insulation, and no one would ever notice.

When I took this pic it occurred to me I haven't been on that mountain bike in over a year. That's going to have to change, I love that bike : )
