I have two cordless drills, loaded one with a drill bit that countersunk, and the other with a phillips driver bit, and went after it. If I had to notch out for the trusses, power lines, or plumbing, I did that with a saber saw.
You can do quite a bit in a day.

I have 7 feet between the bases of the truss. It's a 3 car garage, so there's plenty of room for light weight storage. The trusses are 2X6. I am also thinking about raising the ceiling in a few spots to accomodate a 4 post lift.
