In building your home, a contractor is the very important person to have on your team. In building the walls or foundation of your home, a drywall or sheetrock becomes an essential building supply that needs to be purchased and even installed by a contractor.
Drywall can either be purchased as sheets themselves or as materials that need to be mostly assembled before installation on the wall itself. However it’s purchased, drywall can become very heavy and difficult for one person alone to hold up and attach to the wall studs by screws alone.
To ensure safety in hanging drywall on your own, knowing how to use tools such as drywall lifts will save you time and frustration while building your new house. They aren’t necessarily easy to use at first if the building contractor is not there to instruct you, but a little time and understanding will make this building supply a lot easier to use.
Before using it, assemble the drywall lift as instructed and attach all hooks to the drywall itself. If your building contractor was there when purchasing the building supplies, be sure to ask him or her about whether or not they would like for you to use a drywall lift before attaching the drywall sheets with screws alone.
