Day or two after this thread was posted my step-brother came over, never see him unless he wants something.
Guess what? "Can I borrow your chainsaw"... [bleep].... He doesn't take care his own stuff, much less anyone elses and I HATE loaning things out in general. But what are you supposed to do?
9 outta 10 times they never come back the same and often much worse for wear.
Last time I loaned my snow-blower (neighbor) he sucked the chain into the auger and it took three trips to the repair shop before it was right again.
Last time I leant out my horse trailer, week later I go to use it and one of the chains is broke and it's got a flat.
Swear, better off not answering the door or phone most of the time.
