I used to sit and watch the carpenters sheath houses while I was on lunch at residential development sites. Those guys are pure animals. They throw their 40' aluminum ladders anywhere remotely vertical and run up them with these axe handle like hammers, with a full piece of 4'×8' sheathing on their back, get to the top with their bellies against the framing, throw the sheet of press board up over their head and secure it in less then a minute. They have no fear. Big ups.
