A 3' long piece of 2x12 doesn't cost much. I also have several 2x12x12 pieces for my jackstands. This is better than boards in the driveway, but not high enough to use with a hoist: http://tinyurl.com/y5nakl For a bit more money, get a twelve footer: http://tinyurl.com/y298fd Prices at the links above are consistently above local in-store prices where I live. Concrete runs about $2.50 a square foot installed and finished, more like a dollar a foot if you do all the work yourself.
