Helping hand

[fuzzy]

Little something you may want to think about if your helping a buddy.Let him do it.Just tell him how.Point and say do this do that.That way if something gets broke its his falt not yours.I broke the fuel line connection off a $400 dollar fuel pump a few days ago.

I s he still yor friend? Did you buy him a new pump? I had a friend that needed help with a water pump on his truck, so I showed him how to do it.Well he was taking forever & had no clue what he was doing so I took over. He came over a month after accusing me of not doing the job right which I did not charge him for. I looked at the truck & the fan came off,damaging his new radiator. I asked him who put the fan on & reminded him that he wanted to do some of it so I let him put the fan on. Well I still got blamed because he said thats what I told him to do.After closer inspection of the truck & him bringing the fan out of the garage,the hub came off the water pump. He then apologized.

Good advice! I helped a buddy last week change a $400 fuel pump on an airboat. Had to change a couple of fittings between the old and new pump to make the fuel line fittings fit but everything worked.

Ruh Roh. I see it this way-you allow it, you assume the responsibility associated with having a friend help you and you should be glad he tried/did, regardless of the outcome. what if your friend cut his finger off or burnt the heck outta his arm while helping you out of friendship and kindness-I think you should cover his unpaid expenses for the injury fix (like paying his deductible). If I dint have friends help fix stuff, my stuff would still be broken!!
