Count me in for the group intervention at Big Barn's. I can guarantee we won't be successful but it would be fun! Absolutely the wrong group!

Aww, I want one of those. I've been looking for one but living in the sticks limits opportunities.

I've been looking for years. Considered making my own, modifying motorcycle lift tables , even hospital beds.
I'm glad I waited.
BTW. Electric adjustable hospital beds are readily available (unfortunately when someone in home care dies).
In most cases they are free but you have to take the yellow mattress with it.

Oh my, thanks for the mental image Terry...
My neighbor down the ridge has a motorcycle lift and uses it constantly for everything he is working on. Except hospital beds....

My shop isn't quite finished with permits so I haven't gotten too far with getting things situated yet...
I ended up with a pet grooming table though, it's fairly small at under 2'x4' or thereabouts but it's handy since it can go from like 18" high to around 3' high... it's a 110V linear actuator, says rated for like 200lb but struggles at around 75... even has a standard dual plug outlet on the base so you only have one cord running to the thing, and has a corded deal with the up and down pedals on it...
