Ironically when you get a bunk of 3/4" t&g plywood and ask them to carry it over to the floor we're sheeting they moan and groan. Pointing out that they can dead lift 500# and a sheet is a whole lot less...only 100 reps, get on it boys. I'm paying you to work out and paying you well...
I get the stink eye.
How many sheets of plywood have you pushed up a ladder?
Rex? Anyone?
Ever tote bundles of shingles up onto a two story roof?
I've carried literally 1000's of sheets of 3/4, 5/8, 7/16 up ladders. Shingles in the multiple 1000's. It's simple. Like lifting, it's all form, except carrying a 30# sheet of plywood takes no muscle to do.
Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward. Whoever cannot take care of himself without that law is both. For a wounded man shall say to his assailant, "If I live, I will kill you. If I die, you are forgiven." Such is the rule of honor.
