Ingenius

Time to start putting sheet rock up in the office. Those sheets are heavy and cumbersome. Some guy who got real tired of hauling those sheets up ladders set his mind to work and came up with a great contraption. It is a sheet rock lifter.

 You put the sheet of drywall on it and go to work.
 It's at a height Bill can make the cuts for vents and lights without bending over.
 When you are ready you just spin this wheel and up it goes.
 Its arms hold the sheet in place while you screw it in. This tool will go up 15 feet and if you  need it higher there is an extension for it. One person can do the job of two with this guy.
I hope whoever invented this got the intellectual property on it and not some company. The inventor needs to get the royalties. So simple and yet so great.

Bill had checked the rental price in town and it was $24/day. The place just down the road from us wanted $45/day. For that price difference we will go to town. No need to go to town, the guy gave us the day price for a 3 day weekend. Love small businesses that go out of their way to give good customer service.
