Half my crew hangs lids flat, the others stand them up, and I think one way is wrecking our board
My crew in Phoenix has been split on this for a while now, half of us lay the sheets flat on the floor to cut and the other half stand them up against the wall, and last Tuesday we went through 4 sheets on one ceiling because the standing method kept snapping corners. Flat stacking gave us cleaner cuts and way less breakage, but the stand up guys swear it saves their backs and moves faster on tall walls. So which way do you all run it, and has anyone measured whether one really beats the other on a full house?

Four sheets on one ceiling sounds more like a guy problem than a method problem. Standing sheets up tears corners when you're forcing them into a spot that doesn't fit, that's not the wall's fault. Flat gets you cleaner cuts, standing saves your back on a 12 foot lid, pick your tradeoff and move on. A full house is mostly 8 foot walls anyway, so whoever swears standing wins is arguing over maybe 10 sheets out of 200. This is the kind of thing crews fight about while the board just sits there waiting.
