I can certainly lift and carry a 105 pound 12 foot sheet of drywall. Can I carry it around the house to the basement and lift it onto a drywall lift and then repeat 28 times and still walk the next morning? No. With a little planning I got the ceiling nearly done with very little lifting of drywall
Step 1 Slide a single sheet of drywall off the stack
Step 2 Lower it slowly to the cart using friction as a helper and then stand it up on the cart.
Step Three, roll it to the basement on the bicycle trail that goes behind the house. Don't mind me, just taking the drywall on a walk in the snow. We bought this lot in part because of the paved trail to the back yard.
Step 4 Roll it into the basement on the ramp built from a pallet, piles of excess mulch, and three of the six sheets of cabinet grade plywood that the movers ruined when they used them to roll dollies through the mud when we moved in. They neatly stacked the OSB in the basement
Step 5 Tilt the drywall off the cart and onto my workbench
Step 6 After positioning the drywall lift and setting the brake, stand the drywall up on its edge on the bench.
Step 7 Finally I just need to lift each end a few inches to put the edge onto the hooks on the drywall lift.
Then repeat for two days straight.
