Neither a lender nor a borrower be....

A neighbour borrowed my electric planer. Yep, he returned it, but failed to mention that he'd planed a screw head flat whilst shaving some wood off a door to get it to fit.
No new blade, no apology. yada yada yada.

Another chap borrowed my jigsaw. (I never learn, thought I) He said he'd cut out a sink inset in a worktop and the blade was now blunt and handed me a pack of five new blades for the hassle.

Such is life.

Leant a tile cutter to my niece and her boy friend. Told her to make sure the water was changed every couple of cuts. Came back with a totally knackered blade, minus and diamond bits on it. I'd managed a whole bathroom without damaging it. So is life, I would have bought a new blade for my next job (not that I have one in mind) so no real loss.
