hmm....too bad all the guys that own trucks live way too far away. No one at FH that works with Tom can help either?

I have no experience with drywall but I think its risky. You dont want chunks breaking off and hitting motorists (although more business for Rich).

Maybe Doug and the Jeff's or Cone Mark or one of the guys with knowledge will chime in with a solution.

Don't hold your breath....
I'm as anti Facebook as they come
The only good thing about it hearing about some of the retards that use it
- girl fired from her 1st real job because she posted she was getting high on the way to work
- guy firwd from his job becase he posted about his adventures at some big event, on the day he had called in sick to work

in one fell swoop you've called almost all of us mentally challenged

NO, NOT TRUE...
"some" by definition does not mean all
There are stupid people everywhere, that does not mean all people are stupid

I was just you silly.

I am perfectly ok with the fact that not everyone must approve of all the things in the world. How goes it with Knapp? Busy weekend or kicking back and watching the race at Spa?

I think it would work... any experience or feedback?
DO NOT DO IT
Sheetrock is too soft to hold itself up like that, so it would have to be set on top of a 1/2" or 3/4" plywood
In addition that sheetrock and plywood is going to be very, very heavy
Pay for a truck or a delivery

I hauled a mattress and box spring 2 hours in the winter on top of my Civic wagon with no problems but drywall IS a bit more fragile...
A 4'x8'x1/2" sheet of drywall weighs close to 60lbs. No way I would be hoisting 13 on the roof and back down. Not to mention, most roof racks are rated for less than 100lbs., so it would take at least 6 trips. I think I would be paying the delivery charge if I were you.

Drinking coffee waiting for the grass to dry
Practice was great
I'm pissed as hell Mike Coughlin is getting back into F1, and I hope Waltrip sues his asss off
Got to find some brass screws and hinges, finally finished refinishing an antique commode
Have growlers packed and ready to go, just don't know what vehicle to put them in
Sky looks grey here, but oddly bright
DC looked like he had a ball in the RB in the dirt in TX

A very logical and persuasive response Cone Mark

Very informative.

You are going to finish the basement in a house you don't own?

Did you suddenly win a lottery to come up with money to throw away?

Edit: You do laundry every day?

hoping the conditions are the same in the race. Dont think Waltrip will let him go without a fight as he should.

DC looked like he had a ball but Tom Cruise appears to have had the most fun.
