I will do almost anything, on the roof, electrical. But I learned several times the hard way that drywall is work for an artist. Sure anyone can cover the walls but a pro is fast and good and worth every penny.
My advice is to get the materials, carry it to where it needs to be and pay the guy in cash and he will finish a perfect job in 1/3 the time.
food for thought. send pictures when you're done.
