Buy or rent a drywall lift. Your back, neck, and head will thank you.


Listen to that advice. You can seriously hurt yourself in a way that
might last for the rest of your life. Lifting the weighty and unweildy
drywall above your head can bring your neck and spine into odd
contortions that are quite dangerous. It's not worth the risk.
