Running the drywall in the opposite direction (90 degrees to existing) is another way to do it.

Steve, I feel your pain with all that drywall. I did all of mine myself as well. The lift helped, but my ceiling is so high (and it's a cathedral ceiling with angles) that I had to make an extension for the lift I used. It was pretty scary at times with a tilted sheet of 5/8" drywall that far up in the air! Luckily, I never dropped one, but I came close a few times. Having finished my studio four years ago, I can only say that all the hard work going into building it is now just a distant memory and the music has made it all worthwhile.

Good luck with your new studio. You'll have a sense of pride and satisfaction that one usually doesn't get when you hire the work out.

Cheers,
