Yeah - I tried lifting one a bit when layed flat in wicks - not easy
for one person to carry or use.

I found this device during a trip to the U.S. some while ago.

It's remarkably effective for the handling of large sheets of drywall,
plywood and MDF.

It wouldn't be that hard to make one from wood..........





Some walls are not too bad but have painted patterned paper as stated
- can plasterboard be fixed directly to the brick wall and if so, what
is the best thing to attach the board to the wall - with no batterns?

One method is to use dabs of plaster on the wall and to push the board
onto them.


I thought that works onto brick - but the walls have painted paper.

No. Paper would have to come off.
