          property leased by petitioners to Pauline’s Concrete.                       
          Accordingly, petitioners have not shown they meet the                       
          requirements of this exception.                                             
                    (b) The Extraordinary Personal Services Exception                 
               Petitioners argue in their brief that “the services * * *              
          [they] provide are personal in nature and not merely the rental             
          of concrete pumping trucks and equipment”.  For purposes of the             
          extraordinary personal services exception, the temporary                    
          regulations provide:                                                        
               extraordinary personal services are provided in                        
               connection with making property available for use by                   
               customers only if the services provided in connection                  
               with the use of the property are performed by                          
               individuals, and the use by customers of the property                  
               is incidental to their receipt of such services.  For                  
               example, the use by patients of a hospital’s boarding                  
               facilities generally is incidental to their receipt of                 
               the personal services provided by the hospital’s                       
               medical and nursing staff.  Similarly, the use by                      
               students of a boarding school’s dormitories generally                  
               is incidental to their receipt of the personal services                
               provided by the school’s teaching staff.  [Sec. 1.469-                 
               1T(e)(3)(v), Temporary Income Tax Regs., 53 Fed. Reg.                  
               5702 (Feb. 25, 1988).]                                                 
          Section 1.469-1T(e)(3)(viii), Example (3), Temporary Income Tax             
          Regs., 53 Fed. Reg. 5703 (Feb. 25, 1988), illustrates this                  
          exception:                                                                  
               The taxpayer is engaged in an activity of transporting                 
               goods for customers.  In conducting the activity, the                  
               taxpayer provides tractor-trailers to transport goods                  
               for customers pursuant to arrangements under which the                 
               tractor-trailers are selected by the taxpayer, may be                  
               replaced at the sole option of the taxpayer, and are                   
               operated and maintained by drivers and mechanics
