Homemade Lift for Raising Plywood onto a Roof by Yourself 

Dear Lady, you saved my project. I built a frame for the motorhome carport, however could not get plywood on 12 foot roof by myself. After wathing your video for I built a rig for an hour and toward the evening already half of the roof is covered. Thank you a Blessings to you!

I used a similar method to lift plywood , then cut the support legs to the angle of roof pitch and used it for the steel sheeting as well .

Thanks Michelle that is awesome. Also super cool to see another female builder.

Brilliant upon brilliant idea. I've been staring at my roof for the last 1/2 hour trying to figure it out. Thanks. so much!

Clever gal! Genius solution.

Excellent video! Now I know how I can get the plywood from the yard to the roof top.

You've just saved me a back problem.

Nice! I'm stealing this idea ;) Greetz from Poland!

Thank you very much for sharing this with us..i am going to do it this way within 30 days...its just going to be fun now..really appreciate your time and effort sharing this..carl in fla..south of orange co..n.of okeechobee ..right in middle..blessings

Looks WAY easier and faster than other solutions i have seen! thanks for the idea!

LOL Brilliant! From 2 old guys working on a shed, I'm 65 and my helper is 84! THIS WILL WORK! Thank you for saving my back/ribs/arms etc... LOL love it, so simple and affective!

Awesome!. I myself am not a people person. I like working alone and with my thoughts. This device is pretty neato

Been doing it for 50 years. I am a bit of a beast,, but that is, of course changing. In a couple of years, 70 y.o., I'll know how to do it. Your device is simple and genius. Thanks.

There you go!!! Wow! Exactly what I am looking to do in a few weeks. Thanks loads.

Simple to built, but very effective. WOW! Thanks!

That is GREAT! We're older and not as strong as we were 50 years ago, so I've been checking out videos on how to get the plywood up on the roof of the she shed we're building. You are amazing! This is the best I've seen. I can't wait to show it to my husband. Thank you so much!

Michelle, that is super awesome. Thanks for sharing all of your helpful tips. You're amazing!!

wow, that is something! I am amazed how genuine, and how smart it is!

This is brilliant in how super simple it is! Wow!

Thank You Michelle.

😲🤯 How simple....how genius!!! Thank you for sharing.

This is an extremely unrated tool! Can’t wait to make one of these for my build right now. Thanks! 🙏👍

BEAST MODE, I love your work even after two minutes. Great job.

Good to see a woman doing real work like this. When I was 17 I thought I knew it all and when I met a lady like this on the job site I didn’t take her seriously. Then she solved a lot of problems that I couldn’t, then she carried 6 sheets of dry wall up a ladder when I couldn’t. Long story short she’s now my big sister and we call her Bruiser

After tripping on a bag of cement in the back of my truck and having a sheet fall on me because I was trying to fight to get it up on the steep roof alone I decided to check out what other people have tried and this is nice and fairly simple and I'll be doing this next instead of trying to act like I'm a beast and giving my neighbors something to laugh about as I fight to get 5/8 osb 12 feet up in the air on a roof. Thanks for the tip. I'll have one similar made tomorrow in less than an hour or so and put the rest up. Jokes on my neighbors because they not getting anymore laughs here. 😂

Pure Genius! That is awesome! Thank you for sharing!

Wicked cool!!! Thanks, Michelle!

I'm 65 with a bad back...Thank you.

Well done! Nice setup.

This is absolutely brilliant !

You're so smart! Thank you for sharing!

Excellent. My wife and I are building a small cabin and this is brilliant.

Simple, effective, low cost and it saves your back and eliminates the danger of pushing up sheathing via a ladder. Brilliant. Wish I had thought of it - but so glad YOU did and that you took time to share!

Can't do anything but laugh!!! Genius!!!!!... I would've never thought of that. I going to working alone and Im a woman too, I couldn't figure this out. Thank you for posting!!

"If it's going to be it's up to me" no excuses attitude. Nicely done.

Wow, so simple and effective, thank you. I've been searching for ideas to hoist an evaporative cooler onto a roof, this won't work for our needs, but I still am impressed with this application!

Many thanks indeed for posting this video. This idea was exactly what I needed and I was lucky that I saw it before I set up something that was far more complicated and costly. I would also like to compliment you on your camera work. Too many RU-vid videos are amateurish, but yours was great. In every respect. Thanks again

THIS IS SO BRILLIANT!

I have to put 28 sheets of plywood up on my roof and I thought there's got to be an easier way than what I'm thinking thank you for sharing this now I just got to get out there and start putting the plywood on the roof

I started rebuilding our garden shed and had an encounter with the ladder resulting with my 3rd & 5th ribs busted. It’s been framed for 3 weeks and thanks to you I now have a way to get the roof sheathing up on the rafters. Thank you, thank you!

Super awesome! I'm building a shed and am later going to be redoing my home roof and this is almost definitely going to save me from falling off my ladder. Thanks!

That is awesome. Thanks for sharing.

Such a nice and simple solution. Thank you for sharing.

Awesome, I did not see that coming. Cool. Thanks for posting and sharing your knowledge. It is truly the "Best" part of RU-vid.

I like your system. I will use shed door hinges for setup top. Thanks!

Just amazing! Thanks for sharing

Awesome!!! My arms are all torn up and I'm exhausted from just shoving the first sheet up there. Exactly what I was looking for.

My spine thanks you!! Brilliant idea! I'm hoisting on to a fairly steep pitch, so I'll add a couple of scrap wedges on the landing rafters so the sheets will stay in place until I can position them properly. Thanks for sharing!

Great job.👍

Amazing! No mere mortal can resist the evil of the Thriller!

incredibly smart. thank you!

Nicely done😊

That is very clever. Thank you.

Great idea 👍

very simple and brilliant method

Great idea. And better than ropes. Thank u

BRILLIANT!!! Will definitely be using this!! I love female engineering. Work smarter not harder!

This is purely genius. Great way to lift the material.

You rule Michelle (& Chase)!! I'm building a single floor ranch by myself and decided to start researching how the hell I'm going to tackle 5/8". I built a garage last summer and was able to carefully carry up the 7/16" but it was exhausting!

I love the simplicity. Going to put one of these units together tomorrow and start on roof decking of new home my husband and I are building.

So genius Since I can’t rely on my hope to get here to help me and this is going to make it so easy love the Internet thank you

really SMART. Thank you.

After watching your video, my brother in St Pete has been raising monarchs on milkweed. You have all kinds of good ideas! Greetings from Boise.

Thank you so much for this idea...my son had built a tree house and made the roof on the floor, we then had to get it up into the tree...too heavy and bulky. Partner used your idea. Took about 5 minutes to lift it into place. Worked really well. Excellent, you’re a tree house saver!!

Excellent!

son...of...a... W A O W !!!! BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO

Wow that was awesome!

WoW! Nice! Of all the ways to do it, I think this is the most clever. I have lost all of my strength due to having had cancer and a new heart valve replacement, and I am in my 80th year! I am rebuilding my old blacksmith shop, and have had to seal it up and install OSB on the celing and walls. So this has helped me a ton, Thank You.

Ha! Genius! Good job Michelle, that's not at all how I expected it would operate when I first saw it, but it worked great! Way to think outside the box & get that tough task done.

works great! Thank you!

this is awesome ! definitely going to help me on my next project

Thank you! I have been wracking my brain. I knew there had to be a way.

Great idea!!

Good job champ!

Thank you so much im a woman and its challenging to get people to help you these days lol and this is perfect can you send a list of what you use to make it or another video

bloody good idea

This is brilliant

I have to get 30 sheets of 3/4 pressure treated up on a 10 foot tall pergola. I had a similar idea but your way is so much better!! will be building this tomorrow. Absolutely wonderful idea! Thank you!

Very clever. I just might soon try that myself.

AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are SMART!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GENIUS! Thank you.

Absolutely genius, could you explain what parts you need to build it, Thanks.

Mind. Blown. U rock.

Nice contraption Michelle

Genius! Great idea

I am a 300pd dude and I normal just man handle them but after this not ever again that was simple and brilliant well done and ty for saving my back on the next ones.

OMG you are a super hero!

Well done!

Oh, wow! I was just looking for something. I do not think I can do it this way because I have a house in the way but this does give me ideas!

Very well done.... I was looking for something similar for truss placement...

OMG You are a genius.

That ish was 🔥🔥🔥🔥!!!!!!!

That’s pretty genius!

Thank you, thank you, thank you

So awesome!!

Wow! I didn't see that coming! Nice! I thought you were gonna stand on the cross piece after you set the sheet, and launch it from there. New subscriber

That is dope as hell

nice idea

Brilliant!

Oh My!! You left me in Awe Land! What an amazing idea and creative thinking. I have to carry mud buckets up to my roof and I don't know how to do it. I hope you have a video showing how to do this, Gracias from Mexico
