How to Get Plywood on a Roof
Roofing a house can be a tedious job that includes more work than it looks like it does. It may seem like sticking shingles down is the only part of doing a roof but it is not.

Smaller items like nails and nail guns are easy to carry but items like plywood require careful movement to the roof by more than one person. Does this Spark an idea?
