Does anyone have plans for a homemade
drywall lift ?
I saw one in an old issue of Fine Homebuilding
awhile back made from 2 X 4s , on a rolling
base frame.

Not really answering your question, but with these things available for
as little as $140 delivered it's not worth the time to make one.

Or you can rent one for about $30/day. And it's still a lot easier if
you have a helper. They're great for ceilings, but expect to use a 2X4
as a ledge when installing on walls, shimming as necessary.

These lessons are still fresh -- I just insulated and drywalled the
garage so I can have a proper workshop.
