Yes, me... Just took delivery of 6 sheets of ply and 2 bits of 900x1800 12.5mm plasterboard. Packed the ply away in the shed. Was now slightly tired. Went to the house and opened the back door to take the PB in - the same door that opens outwards and I'd leaned the PB against off the truck. You can all laugh now - it was a total Stan Laurel moment. 2 sheets fell over, to be stopped at the top edge by a grass bank at 30 degrees off horizontal with a very amusing (for bystanders, not me) sound as the middle went wopwopwop Anyway - cannot see any cracks in the exposed plaster edge even flexing the sheets and the paper seems undamaged. Is this likely to have weakened them with some unseen cracks through the plaster core? It's only for lining the underside of the roof under celotex where my new mains waterpipe is going hence the couple of small sheets as I don't need much. Rest will get lined later but the pipe run will make doing a couple of areas hard, hence do it now. Verbal abuse is welcome - as long as you throw an opinion in!
