Rope trick helps haul the goods
Advertisement
Without someone to help, maneuvering sheet goods can become just about impossible. But with just a 20' length of rope, you can carry full sheets around by yourself. First, form a loop by tying the rope's two ends together. Slip the rope under two corners, as shown. Adjust the loop height so your carrying arm locks straight down (with no crook) during carrying. Use your free hand to steady the panel against your shoulder.
