I would need it probably till mid-jan, as I won't have the time to finish the job totally till then...
...so if you will be needing it... probably best I buy one (from you?)
They are just one of those things that I would not use more that once or twice in my life and didn't really want to have to actually buy, but if I need to, I need to!
I will need a hoist come the day the motor will go in the car, but that won't be for a while yet...
