In other news. Rubber roof has arrived. It's so heavy I can't pick it up.

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):

Extra manpower and webbing.

Helped the builders lift a 220kg 3x1m skylight onto the roof using gymnastic ring straps, scaffold boards and trestles.

Oof. Rather you than me!

I picked up the lift this morning - better £80 hire fee against a £900 smashed window!
