Jay, Martin is on the money. I just paid $115 a yd for 26 yards of concrete so for a couple hundred dollars extra you can't go wrong while the "finishers" are there.....and until you actually put a lift up it'll still be handy.
Martin is spot on. I have visited several shops over the past year and there are quite a few that operate lifts outside. I've had the same idea for sometime now. Maybe, just maybe, next spring if I can find a good buy.
