Unfortunately the room is too sizable to make that feasible, but I can see your point. Thanks!

My neighbor has a plasterboard lift that would enable me to place and hold it right into position, but it would probably go faster if I enlisted some help, I just hate bothering people.

I've been looking at it all day and think that while I am fairly sure I could tape and mud properly. I'm just fretting about the location. It's just in front and to the left of the fireplace which would make it farly noticeable if it isn't done properly.
