Had a perfect flat ceiling day last Tuesday near Cleveland

We hung 60 sheets of 5/8 fire code on a 14 foot ceiling and every single butt joint lined up perfect. No shims needed, no fighting the metal studs, just smooth sailing from 7am to 3pm. Has anyone else had one of those rare days where the whole job just clicks into place?

Oh man, I gotta disagree big time! I'd way rather spend a whole day fighting bowed studs and patching crooked joints (call me crazy) because those "perfect" days just feel like a setup for a nightmare job the next week. Somebody's gotta pay for that luck, you know?

Call me crazy?" Heck, you PREFER fighting crooked studs?

@nancyg14 must love spending weekends redoing "perfect" walls.

@the_leo has a point but I'll take an easy day over a hard one any time.
