It can be frustrating when you want to move a 4x8 sheet of plywood or paneling, and no one's around to help. Carrying full sheets by yourself can be awkward and risky. You could damage the wood, gouge a wall or worse, strain your back. Here are a few methods the pros use. Hook the claws of a hammer under the bottom edge, dead center and lift -- using the handle as a convenient carrying grip. Use your free hand to steady the board up top. Another way to carry full sheets is by tieing an 18-foot rope into a big loop. Slip the loop over the bottom two corners, then lift and pull the middle section of the rope up while again using your free hand to steady the board. To protect panel edges or surrounding walls -- even glass table tops, window panes, mirrors or any large flat item you want to ?handle with care? -- slide pre-slit foam pipe insulation over the edges, and haul away. And that's the On The House tip for today.
