Just finished drywall and taping for 4 ceilings. Total 13 sheets over existing 9' ceiling. Dining,kitchen,pantry and bath three men first day and two men second and third day. My question is, is this ridiculously slow?
I'm pretty rusty when it comes to taping my experience is mostly commercial work my two helpers are very inexperienced. The HO lived their so we were constantly moving furniture and cleaning etc.
Thoughts? thanks in advance

Next time cut two opposing slots in a empty drywall bucket , thread a piece of tape, add mixed up mud, pull out x amount of feet folding it over on itself,
Apply by hand over seam, have a dude with a knife go behind you with a hawk smoothing it out or if your quick enough you can do it by yourself!
Me by myself with my lift would of hung the ceiling in the morning taped it before I left came back muffed it, twice if I could
Learn to use hot mud you can cut out i full day. As you can tape and first coat the first day. 2nd coat and finish coat 2nd day. Use pre mixed for final coat.
I'm curious to know what a plaster would charge per ceiling? I would think it would be a lot more efficient. Possibly with three experienced guys they might have finished in a day. Obviously bigger jobs especially commercial jobs I am sure it's more cost effective to hang drywall and tape.

Yea well of course you lay tarps move furniture, but after I gave them an extra bill, but hell yea I'd be out on two by one at the latest!!
You have to pace yourself on those kind of jobs!!!
One thing people don't understand
the more it may cost.
