Lol.
Try hangin cement board overhead for months on end. Nothing better!
Now that shits heavy!.And when I first got in, it seemed i was always taller than my journeyman partners, so the scaffolding was always set up for them and my shorter sheetrockin mexican brothers.
My back and my neck are fucked bro

"time is money"! words to live by on that job, that jig woulda been a lifesaver honestly, although the asbestos abatement crew were on the next floor .......kinda glad to be away from those jobs honestly, how the fuck can abatement be safe just because they duct tape plastic all around the area>? seems kinda half assed to me but ive never done abatement, heard its great pay/short life!

I do.
It's all about scaffolding, even interior

Oh, I can totally see that bro. Not knockin ya
I can hang 8 footers overhead all day long myself(used to be able to). But we are usually hanging 12's on ceilings/lids. Less butt joint taping needed.

I was a project manager for a large commercial contractor in Nor-Cal fresh out of college. After the economy crashed in 2008, I went another route but I will tell you this. That little gizmo might be ok for residential work but on a large scale commercial project, it is all about efficiency. Though that might look efficient at first glance, it would slow a commercial crew down and you would be laughed off the job site. Just my two cents.Not only does the board need hung, but then it needs screwed off and then taped.
