A new and unique temporary support system for installing drywall panels on ceilings and walls. This system is ideal for large commercial and residential ceilings spanning and supporting two large 4'×12'×⅝" sheets of drywall side by side on a fastening element at a plate by a protruding end and a hole. The opposite end, with a protruding end and a fixed spacer, is secured to a parallel framing structural member, the panels are slipped between the hangers and the framing structures, aligned and secured. The hangers are easily removed and reused to install the next panel. The second set, ideal for handymen, Do-it-Yourselfers, additions and remodels will support one 4'×12'×⅝" panel on a ceiling. It is mounted on a fastening element at a plate on a parallel framing structure, the same as the first set, the panel is aligned and secured eliminating the cumbersome task of holding the panel in place to secure.

I claim: 1. A temporary support for the installation of drywall, comprising: an elongated member having a first end, a second end, a top surface, a bottom surface and a pair of opposing side surfaces; a first flange extending beyond the first end, the first flange having opposing upper and lower surfaces, the upper surface of the first flange being planar with the top surface of the elongated member, the first flange including a mounting hole formed from the top surface of the first flange to the bottom surface of the first flange; a shoulder disposed at the second end of and at a distance above the top surface of the elongated member selected to allow a sheet of drywall to slide along the top surface of the elongated member, the shoulder having an upper surface substantially parallel to the top surface of the elongated member; and a second flange having opposing upper and lower surfaces and extending from the shoulder beyond the second end of the elongated member, the upper surface of the second flange planar with and extending from an upper surface of the shoulder, the second flange including a mounting hole formed from the top surface of the first flange to the bottom surface of the first flange. 2. The temporary support of claim 1, wherein the elongated member comprises a rigid metal skin formed over an interior member. 3. The temporary support of claim 2, wherein the first flange, the shoulder and the second flange are formed from and integral with the interior member. 4. The temporary support of claim 2, wherein the interior member is formed from wood. 5. The temporary support of claim 1, wherein the elongated member has a length selected to allow the width of a single sheet of drywall between the shoulder and the hole in the second flange. 6. The temporary support of claim 1, wherein the elongated member has a length selected to allow the width of two sheets of drywall between the shoulder and the hole in the second flange. 7. The temporary support of claim 1, wherein the first flange further includes an elongated mounting recess axially aligned with the elongated member and configured to engage a mounting screw or nail extending in a direction axially aligned with the elongated member. 8. The temporary support of claim 7, wherein the elongated mounting recess is a hole formed in axial alignment with the elongated member. 9. The temporary support of claim 1, further including: a first hole formed in a selected one of the side surfaces of the elongated member, the first hole adapted to engage a head of a first mounting screw or nail; and a second hole formed in the selected one of the side surfaces of the elongated member, the second hole spaced apart from the first hole by a standard wall stud spacing distance and adapted to engage a head of a second mounting screw or nail. 10. The temporary support of claim 9, further including: first indicia formed on the elongated member and aligned with the first hole; and second indicia formed on the elongated member and aligned with the second hole. 11. The temporary support of claim 10, wherein the first and second indicia are formed on the bottom surface of the elongated member. 12. The temporary support of claim 9, wherein the first flange further includes an elongated mounting recess axially aligned with the elongated member and configured to engage a mounting screw or nail extending in a direction axially aligned with the elongated member. 13. The temporary support of claim 12, wherein the elongated mounting recess is a hole formed in axial alignment with the elongated member.
