My main question is: how big of a deal is doing the ceiling after the
walls?

I think it would be no problem. Just be sure to leave yourself a gap of
the
right size.

I couldn't just do the walls all the way up and start the ceiling "inside"
the drywall on the walls?

Also, it would be way easier in my mind to hang the drywall vertically
(parallel to the studs) rather than horizontally. For this application,
would it be OK? I'm open to any other constructive comments regarding
this
plan.

How tall are you? If you hang horizontally, you have the big easy seam 4
feet off the ground and do not need to go up and down the ladder as much
when taping. You can also use 12 footers easier and potentially elimate
another seam or two.

I'm of average height and I also forgot to mention that these are 10-foot
walls. So, either way, somebody's getting on a ladder to tape, I imagine.
It still might be better to do it perpendicular to the studs, though. I'm
less worried about which way the walls go than I am putting the ceiling off
for now.

thanks for your response.
