And I think he would. He offered to buy me some tools to partially pay for the use. My thought is to send him a link to this thread.

If I were using your shop, I would be the one changing your oil outside or any other mechanical work that I inconvenienced towards you. So without that so much as offered it tells me what the future payback might be. It was not like he did not have down time waiting on parts...
Then again I read people a little differently. Hope I am wrong once again for your sake.
Just think any returns would have been shown by now 6 wks. (Clean Shop, Clean Parts Cleaner, Etc.)

He did offer to change the oil. I prefer to do it myself. The shop is a mess right now. He needs to clean it.

It took me 15 minutes. Just drove it up on two 2 x 6's and I had enough clearance.

That was my first thought, lol...
When i was 20, I loaned my single car garage to a newly acquired friend to work on his VW, with the stipulation that he only work on it while I was there. First day, ok. Second day, I wasn't there, third day he broke into my garage and took his VW somewhere else, damaging the door and leaving it open to thieves. Next day he showed up to work, and when I got off my motorcycle, I broke his nose and my right ring finger. Still have that broken bone to remind me to keep my cool, or use something harder than my hands.
Glad yours is working out better than my garage loaning experience. Now if the shop gets used, it is on my terms, though I do have projects to build other people stuff when I want.
