Fact #1. Drywall was invented and patented in 1894. It was believed that it could make the building process more efficient. Time has proven this belief correct, as it is now used in 97 percent of new home construction in the United States for just that reason.
Fact #2. Drywall was destined to fall by the wayside as an unsuitable building material if not for WWII. During the war, labor and material shortages intensified the need for low-cost and efficient building materials. With most of the country's workforce focused on war manufacturing, plastering was no longer a viable option. Builders began to turn to drywall. By the time the war ended, it was the dominant building material.
Fact #3. The average sheet of drywall weighs over 50 pounds. This presents a considerable problem for anyone trying to install one on the ceiling without assistance. Enter the drywall lift. These make it easy for somebody to install drywall on a ceiling or wall, without having to enlist the help of a few friends.
Fact #4. Drywall lifts are great for installing panels on the ceiling or high up on a wall. However, they aren't a pragmatic solution for installing panels a few inches off the floor. In this situation, a mini lifter will be your best bet. Mini lifters are designed to slip underneath the edge of a panel and allow you to relatively effortlessly lift it an inch or so off the floor.
Fact #5. You may also want to consider adding a drywall taper and drywall stilts to your arsenal. This is especially true if you will be installing large amounts of drywall or doing it on a regular basis. These are two more tools that can make a potentially difficult process easier and more efficient.
