Update finally
The drywall guys are done, & they were nice enough to leave the scaffolding for us to use until their next job. We spent a couple days doing the last of the "high" work while we had a chance.
We bought ceiling fans that have remote control, since both fan's are quite high. All the new sheetrock has a coat of primer on it as well.

We also put a clear finish on the ceiling (4x10's + 2x6 T&G flooring). We didn't want to darken things up too much, so we used a clear waterbased poly in a satin finish, so it's not too shiny.
Here's a before (from a while ago):

Here's after we finished 2 coats (tired arms!):
