Tricky delivery

Having the correct equipment to make a hard job easier. Paying enough so that the subs can have a team sized to fit the scale of the job. These are hard lessons you learn when you try and cut corners and disaster ensues. Planning, prep and execution allowed us to get the drywall delivered into a horribly inaccessible job site. My main issue with even taking the job on was this delivery. With it complete, it’s going to be smooth sailing from here on. In this instance, the board needed delivery on a freezing cold day to a site with no access. The crane was able to lift large stacks of the board and stretch all the way deep into the side yard. From there the three man crew had to haul it by hand and through the window that I had disassembled, luckily it fit. The board was 54 inch as well, to reduce one entire seam throughout the basement. This made it even harder, heavier and worse to move. It may look like magic and easy when the clients get their completed job turned over, but it wasn’t!

The crane reaches only half way. The rest is hauled the old fashioned way. Worth every penny to have this done.
