I'm making a base for an 8x6 shed out of some spare 3x2 slabs. They're flipping heavy. I was hoping to tackle it on my own but I don't fancy putting my back out. Is help essential? Recommended methods for moving the slabs around and laying them down without injury would be much appreciated!

When I moved my 4' x 3' x4" stone flags I picked them up at one end, got them upright, then walked them with a rocking motion corner to corner, really easy, much easier than attempting to carry them, or you could man handle them onto a trolley, good luck.
If you have any distance to carry the slabs, get your self a sack trolley. Screwfix/toolstation/DIY sheds sell them for around £30 and you can sell it on again via Gumtree or Ebay for £20, so the net cost is well worth it for keeping your back intact! Pavingexpert.com has advice on how to lay them without injuring yourself too.
