edit: I just noticed I am not supposed to ask questions in "Intro" so I am posting this in the "Roof and Siding" section.
====================================
Hello everyone. I live in northern california.
My 2 story home has extensive water damage inside and outside around chimney enclosure. The buider cut a hole in the siding to make room for the gutter! Over a span of 20+ years, 2nd story gutter overflow went invisibly inside the wall and resulted in much damage. Luckily this area does not support the structural floor load of the house.
So I am repairing the wooden frame and the question pertains to the installation of the plywood side panels.
What is the best method to safely haul 4x4 panels up to the 2nd story for installation?
I am working with a 24' ladder and I have tied down and rigidized the ladder. But I am not feeling safe carrying any load with my hands while climbing the ladder.
Right now I am working alone, but if I need a helper I will get one.
Thanks for your help.
