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?

Buy or rent a drywall lift. Your back, neck, and head will thank you.

What is that dripping from my fingers?
Why it looks like time.

Listen to that advice. You can seriously hurt yourself in a way that
might last for the rest of your life. Lifting the weighty and unweildy
drywall above your head can bring your neck and spine into odd
contortions that are quite dangerous. It's not worth the risk.

How much rock are you hanging ? I would drive through a nearby
subdivision where there are homes in various stages of construction and
find a rock crew. They'd probably do it after they finish work or on a
lunch break for a very reasonable price.

Best advice so far. My buddy was tinkering around with finishing their
house forever. I mentioned the same thing to him and within a few days
the job was done and my buddy couldn't believe how little it cost.
