From the link:
50 sheets of plasterboard up into the loft springs to mind. The sums
suggest that the total of 1.2 Tonnes.

Just as well the top set of stairs were not in at the time, otherwise
there is no way we would have got them up there whole!

So what else is going up the wooden stairs to Bedlington? There must be
quite a weight all told.

Hmm, good question... must admit I have never added it up in detail,
beyond thiking a "few" of tonnes or so.

The plasterboard was less than half the story (although memorable
because it all went up in the space of an hour or so!)...

The render on the outside also represents another tonne or so (although
a good deal more when it was wet and wanted carrying up the ladder!).
There were about 18 sheets of 18mm ply, so about 300kg at a guess, 500 -
600m of 4x2", and a kin big pile of larger timbers in the floor. 150kg
of steel, about 250kg of multifinish plaster, probably over 100kg of
tiles and adhesive in the bathroom, 100kg of sanitary ware. I forgot to
count how many rolls of roofing felt the roofers used, (3 layers, 20m^2)
plus the three or so I used elsewhere - so probably 250kg or more. Over
30kg of fixings I would guess. Even insulation foam adds a bit (some was
cork backed). Even the stairs themselves must have been over 100kg.

On the debit side, we did take off 1,200 concrete 9x6" roof tiles - so
perhaps 700kg there.
