Default Hanging drywall - alone

Eigenvector spake thus:

Is it unreasonable to expect a reasonably strong man to be able to hang 1/2"
drywall on the ceiling all by himself? Is this one of those "Get a friend
before you hurt yourself" situations?


I did it myself, and I don't consider myself an especially strong guy,
so if you do, it shouldn't be too bad.

I think I cobbled up some "stilts" out of 2x4s to keep the panels aloft,
which helped a lot.
