                    Various excavation equipment                                      
                    Office equipment                                                  
          In exchange, Pauline’s Concrete covenanted to pay petitioners for

               For the taxable years 1991 through 1993, Pauline’s Concrete            
          was generally in the business of performing concrete pumping.               
          Pauline’s Concrete provided concrete pumping services and related           
          equipment at specific locations as requested by the construction            
          contractors.6  For the years at issue, both petitioners worked              
          for, and received wages from, Pauline’s Concrete.  Petitioners              
          each drove and operated the equipment leased by Pauline’s                   


               5The lease states:                                                     
               The lease payments (the “Annual Lease Amount”) shall be                
               calculated annually by Lessor based upon the number of                 
               hours the trucks are in operation for the year at a                    
               rate of $120 per hour, however, monthly payments (the                  
               “Periodic Payment”) shall be paid in an amount as from                 
               time to time may be periodically agreed between Lessor                 
               and Lessee. * * *                                                      
               6As part of its operations, Pauline’s Concrete performed,              
          among other things, the following:  Receiving phone calls to log            
          the pumping equipment on and off jobsites; deciding which pumping           
          equipment will be placed on which jobs; transporting the pumping            
          equipment to the jobsites; deciding when to replace older pumping           
          equipment; performing necessary maintenance on the pumping                  
          equipment; and performing the safe operation of the pumping                 
          equipment.
