I feel your pain, Neck, back and knees.
I'd take you up on the help too.

Despite my framers being meth addicts, the structure is really true (diagonals on the foundation piers are <1/4" off in a 20' x 36' rectangle) so I haven't had to fight many 'squareness battles.' But, that ceiling of mine is far from perfect...if someone visiting has the balls enough to point out the gaps and irregular joints, I will personally escort them off the property at the pointy end of one of my Tony Lamas.
