Shagged up the Arse by a neighbour
My neighbour had an industrial pressure washer and lent it to me so I could start my own business and pay him a percentage of the profits. Yesterday (7 months into the venture and one month after being in yellow pages) he informed me he had sold it and would be coming for it soon!
Now with a new baby and my business pulled from underneath me I feel well and truly arse shagged. All the time I was pressure washing I was applying for jobs so my prospects are still firmly in the toilet. Beware of the pissed off, self loathing Patrick for the next couple week or so, its not going to be pretty! Patrick |
Congratulations on the new baby, anyway. :)

Patrick Every few weeks Lowes, and Home Depot run a "buy now, pay in 12 months" deal, why not buy your own pressure washer the next time they run the offer? |

Originally posted by Patrick I don't think Lowes sell this type, I am looking into other ways of either getting a machine or doing something else but it all came as a bit of a shock |

Patrick If you are serious about your venture you should buy, lease or rent (with a contract) the equipment that you need. Why don't you offer to buy his? He sounds like the kind of guy who might take a few dollars more than he has been offered. |
See if you can buy a new one on finance. Then send out press releases to all your local papers stating that your company has just invested X amount of dollars in a new state of the art machine that can do blah, blah , blah................. this will give you lot's of free exposure. He has probably done you a favour, this will force you to take control of your own life and I'm sure you will be a success. Good luck.
P.S. Even get your wife to take a picture of you holding the baby next to your new purchase and think up a really catchy line for the papers - they love this kind of thing. Im sure that some of us on here could help you think up a good headline. |

Originally posted by ScousePete Not to sound harsh, but you can't run a business using borrowed equipment from a neighbour. It was always going to be a matter of time before he was going to want it back or want to sell it.

He sounds like the kind of guy who might take a few dollars more than he has been offered. He bought it (with the intention of renting it to me) for $5000, he offered it to me for $7000. As I am seriously in debt because of the start up costs from the company (truck, adverts, yellow pages, marketing etc) I cannot afford $7000. I am speaking to some people tomorrow about a lease, I am also looking into a couple of other ventures. Patrick |

Originally posted by Patrick Strangley he bought it to put me in business and the contract was that I started and ran the business and I gave him a big percentage of everything I make (not profits). We also had a gentlemens agreement that we wouldn't screw each other. This to me was solid, he obviously has no respect for agreements.

Re: Shagged up the Arse by a neighbour
Originally posted by dbark Sorry to hear about the git next door, but Patrick, do tell us about the new baby - is this the foster daughter with the hispanic name, or a different babe? Some of us like to know all the goss ;) Debbie :) With the new baby waking up 2 or 3 times a night and giving us sleep deprevation there is little chance for old fashioned baby making. |
