Hey Scylla? Is your aunt-in-law adopted? Because my aunt-in-law is adopted, and I strongly suspect mine and yours have the same birth parents. The words selfish and thoughtless don’t even BEGIN to describe these people. Sheesh.
If you were a really good nephew, you’d take your tools over to auntie’s house and do the work yourself. This is what my father does for all his free-loading relatives*. My mom thinks it’s because he’s a pushover. Really he does it because he wants to supervise his tools.
Well, that and the beer. His going rate is a 6 pack/half hour.
*Is it free-loading if he’s your dad?
Wonderful, a drunk around power tools. That should be furn to watch!!
That’s what he charges, not what he drinks, I hope 
Heh. I’ve seen not one, but two (and a third coming) companies thrown into financial ruin simply because they decided to go into the consumer pressure washer business and sell to we-don’t-care-why-you-return-it Home Depot. They kept getting “warrenty” claims from people who had returned perfectly good washers to HD because they couldn’t make them work.
People, a pressure washer is not a hose with a turbo! Read the damn directions! Hell, people should need a damn license to operate them.
This mild rant was brought to you by the Committee of Companies Who Just Wanted to Respond to Consumer Demand, Dammit.
I’ve got both a gas and an electric powered pressure washer and believe me it’s not all consumer abuse. I got the electric because it was so handy and it worked great for light use for about a month and then it fried. I got another and it gave up after 30 days also. When I returned this brand to Lowes for the second time there were three (3) identical pressure washers sitting in the basket next to the return desk. She asked me if I wanted a replacement and I said “Ummmm…No.”
Here is the little POS
Aren’t those disposable, like bic lighters? Use 'em once and throw 'em away.
