ABSTRACT:
A foot mountable drywall positioning device has a drywall positioning lever pivotally mounted to a structure for releasably securing the lever to a boot, the lever rotatable between a lowered drywall engaging position and a raised position. The drywall lever has a first "U"-shaped bracket having an apex end, opposed ends opposite the apex end, and a fulcrum between the apex end and the opposed ends; the apex end having a platform for releasably engaging a sheet of drywall, the opposed ends pivotally connected to the a structure for releasably securing the lever to a boot, and the fulcrum depending downwardly from the first "U"-shaped bracket so as to be engagable with a floor surface when the lever is in the lowered drywall engaging position. Where the fulcrum is engaged with the floor surface the lever may be rotated about the fulcrum by lowering the means for releasably securing the lever to a boot to thereby raise the apex end and the drywall sheet releasably engaged thereon.
