Mostly around $3k, this was an auction that finished on New Years Eve from a seller with feedback of -1. I was the only bidder. I went straight there with a trailer and cash to make sure there would be no jiggery pokery.

How long did it take you to install the hoist!

Still, even $3k dosnt seem much for the convenince of them.

In a workshop situation one would cover its cost pretty quickly.

Pretty much a couple of days during the break, there were no instructions with it and I wasn't in any mad rush.

Funny how 'skite' popped into my head too. 'Lucky skite' then.

Nah good on you rob_man I am sure its well deserved. Its actually doing me a service anyhow.
Tonight Mrs Jazz has had the following arguments:
* See this guy's new shed, makes my plans look reasonable and modest doesn't it!
* Rob's hoist was only $2500

In pieces on a trailer and some bits in the back of the Prado.

That's something I considered doing to the old garage. Raising the roof and slipping prefabricated panels on top of the walls to give some height but I'm glad I did it this way because the old (Versatile) one was starting to deteriorate even though it was only 11 years old.

You would be amazed! I do pretty well actually. This is the same Mrs Jazz who traded her Automatic Corolla for a 1975 Alfa Spider LHD 4 weeks after we met. and just bought me a DeWalt nail gun for Christmas.
Generally I can barter my way to success. if I need to exceed the allotted 5 car maximum usually the place just becomes more of a zoo in exchange. Trouble is I think she wants a goat next. hmmmm.

I am amazed how crappily built mine is too. (might actually be a versatile and not a skyline. will have to check).
Because this is the "extra" shed (I have a full basement workshop, 2 car sized dirt floor storage and soon to be completed single garage as well as the double skyline) I wouldn't be getting away with a new one in a hurry. You have to draw the line somewhere. sadly.
