I'd rather just hire it out.

Heh, yeah that last coat of drywall mud can be a PIA. One trick I've learned is to soup up the mud a little bit, and roll it on with a lamb's wool roller, then go over it with a 12" knife to smooth it. That does a good job of filling in the pin holing and other minor imperfections.
Sometimes I even do a prime coat with a flat wall paint before I do my final detailing, that way you're less likely to screw up the good areas while you're trying to fix the bad areas, plus it makes the areas that need attention easier to see.
Nevertheless, nice job on the place.
