I'm still leaning towards using pine tongue and groove planks anyway... I'm not sure I want to be managing drywall by myself.

I did OK. The half sheets for the ceilings were the toughest part. This is a pretty small bathroom and I think I would have preferred wrestling with full sheets vs. all the half sheets with cutouts and corners. I want a nearly maintenance free main bathroom when I'm done, so I put in a fiberglass tub/shower with a 6' high surround. Used all mold resistant drywall and put in a mega vent fan.
This is my first total room gutting and re-do. The gameroom will seem easy in comparison since it only involves drywall and electric, no plumbing.

Fortunately I'm not doing a ceiling like that. It's too low - if I do anything it will probably be just stapling some thin rails between the joists and putting up thin ply like a drop ceiling but not lowered. Plus I like real wood paneling better than drywall anyway. The main issue may be the difference in cost. Stuff like that is going up even faster than drywall.

If you're ever doing more than 1/2 dozen sheets at a time for walls or ceilings, I heartily recommend you rent a drywall lift. It makes the job SOOOO much easier. I sheetrocked our vaulted ceiling in the livingroom and there's no way I could have done it otherwise. I did the job solo - no helper whatsoever. I'll post a pic later if I can find one.

Sadly renting equipment doesn't work for me. Get home, make dinner, cut a couple framing members, give the kids a bath, mount the members, repeat next day. I rarely get more than 90 straight minutes to work on anything. I've been known to mask stuff the night before I knew I was going to paint it because I know I won't get a full amount of time to do both in the same morning.
