Looking good.

May be too late for this now, but I've found one of these is hugely helpful for carrying full boards around solo.

Doesn't make setting them down flat any easier but at least you don't have to drag them about.

Totally agree. I bought one of those for shifting hundreds of sheets of plasterboard during my build, and it is unbelieveable how much better it makes the task.

For setting them down flat I worked out a routine with resting the board on the toe of my boot, slipping out the holder then letting them fall through ninety degrees (after the first one, which I placed). Far from breaking, they land on a cushion of air and usually actually slip along on it for an (annoying) inch or three before settling. Between walls and floors in the new storey and the new ceilings, stairwell framing etc downstairs we're talking round two hundred sheets with no damage.
