Looks amazing btw! I'd love a big shed like that, you're doing a proper job on it.

Ta. I think I'll Larch the sides and just use cedar for the front. £700 saving just in that.

In other news. Rubber roof has arrived. It's so heavy I can't pick it up. I attempted to get it into a wheelbarrow but it tipped over after a metre. Whoops. Fuck knows how I'm going to get it up high.

Using an overly elaborate system of pullies and levers

I'm in the same boat as this just now.

I might be able to lift it (with wobbly legs and high risk of dropping it) - But I am utterly fucked if I'm going to try and lift it to roof height.

And the skylight is even heavier and awkardly shaped.

How did you manage to lift it?

I'm considering hiring one of these (the Genie Lift, not the Village People extra):
