TIL my $45 drywall lift rental was the best money I ever spent for a ceiling job.
I was ready to do it solo with just a T-brace, but after an hour of struggling, I caved and got the lift from the rental yard, which let me hang three 12-foot sheets perfectly flat in under two hours.

Oh man, preach. That lift is a total game changer. I tried the T-brace struggle once and my arms were done for a week. Renting the right tool feels like cheating, but it just means you finished the job without wanting to die.

Exactly, the right tool turns a fight into a simple task you can actually finish.

Seriously, it's not even about saving time. It's about saving your whole body from that deep ache. That lift lets you focus on getting it RIGHT instead of just holding it up. You end up with a better job and you can still move your arms the next day. Some tools are just worth their weight in gold.
