That is really cool!! Now it just needs some arms so it can pickup and carry 2x10s, sheets of plywood, the water cooler, tools, etc.

A perfect "lumber-toter" for construction sites: Doesn't get drunk, pregnant, nor argue with you!

(Perfect for jobsites that choose to ignore smarter/easier ways of construction using far less labor than typically employed...which is actually available today to those that are coachable.)
