As far as cutting boxes, just get the measurements off the wall form the corner or the sheet you are butting into. Then mark and cut on the sheet before you hang it. A good T/F guy can help if some boxes are a little large, don't overthink it.

If you hang the drywall yourself go ahead and tape & float it yourself.
The quality of labor willing to come up and finish the job for you will more likely be less skilled than yourself.
If you go for it and hire a tape and float crew.....
Whey they say they are done, walk the house right at dusk where the waning sunlight picks up every imperfection in the seam joints and it looks terrible they will say you hung it all wrong, this is as good at will ever look you get to start over.
It's worth hiring it done.

Screw 1x4 to ceiling along joist, and then hang new drywall. That way your new drywall is straight and doesn't fallow the same bow as the old ceiling.
That’s a great tip! I’m actually going to hang some over existing sheet rock that has glued on foam tile.

As a contractor, I'm going to charge you more for you doing my job or turn you down.Originally posted by Stuck View PostIf I was a sheet rocker I would charge you dbl to tape and float a job you hung. (Assuming it would look like I hung it).

It can work out but not very often.
I would say, well there is the door. bye!

Say they all come up with a price of $45-$55 to do the entire yard a week.
Tell them that sounds fair, then tell them you plan on doing all the mowing and edging yourself, you just need them to clean up the flowerbeds & blow the concrete off. How does $10 sound?
Poof......They gone...
Same principle applies to the OP.
