i was going to give a serious answer, but i decided not to geek out on this once and remind you that the lbs/gal is for pure water. if there's other stuff dissolved in it the amt goes up. therefore a 5 gal bucket of joint compound and water would be very different.



but i decided not to do that. esp since mrI didnt' go that direction.

Piss in the pail first. When mixed with construction materials, piss is lighter than air and will make the bucket lighter.

i would have liked a serious answer...
as it is, i guess i dragged about 80 gallons of old horse hair plaster down the stairs yesterday.

[herm]

AHA!

i found it. a dry gallon is 48.5 Lbs
so x 16 buckets = 776 Lbs

and yeah, i am way out of shape these days. you should have seen me humping the gypsum board (two at a time) back up the stairs last week....talk about comedy
