Are there any tricks to putting up drywall on a sloped ceiling working alone? Other than a drywall lift. Can’t hold it up with my head, a wooden t-brace doesn’t quite work. These are ~5 ft long pieces going in vertically between the flat ceiling above and the top of a knee wall below, attached to horizontal strapping.

Screw a ledge to the knee wall. Rest the bottom edge of the drywall on the ledge, pivot up and secure.
