My back finally called it quits after a week of moving sheet goods

Spent all week hauling full sheets of plywood by myself for a big built in project, and now my lower back is in full revolt. I was so focused on the cut list I totally forgot about lifting form until the sharp pain hit. How do you guys handle the heavy material side of things without wrecking yourself.

I feel that! I finally broke down and got a panel carrier for sheet goods, it's a total game changer for your back.

But how bad can carrying sheet goods be for your back anyway?

Ever try to wrestle a sheet of plywood up a flight of stairs by yourself? Did that once, felt like my spine was just a stack of loose coins the next day. The way those things catch the wind and try to twist out of your grip is brutal. My lower back was making sounds I didn't know a human body could make.
