News & Notes

Yesterday I had a great time moving 40 sheets of drywall for a friend. We had to get each pair of drywall sheets to the bottom of the basement stairs, stand them on end, climb up on a ledge above the stairs, lift up the drywall and angle it just right to squeeze it between the ceiling and the railing of the stairs. We got them down there without injury or breaking anything.

 

Have a great week!
