I'd hire out the ceiling.* My ass won't get up on stilts.

The drywall finisher I once talked with had retired and was doing side
jobs. They suffer from injuries like most every other trade. He had
severe carpal tunnel.

Carpet installers have back and knee problems from crawling around and
kicking carpet on tack-strip.
