Good question. It is a combination of both questions. I think the biggest issue with sharing a lift is that there'd have to be some way that we can guarantee access to it at specific time, which is difficult in our environment. Our plan is to buy one that does the job and will last a long time. Hopefully the upfront cost isn't too great, but even if it is we can spread it over several years.
