Trailer deck refinish

you must be like REALLY good buddies. Every single time I let a friend take this trailer out (three times total) something came back messed up ......so now I don't even let my relatives use it ...except one.

The first time it came back with wrecked fender. the excuse "so sorry, I am not used to driving with a trailer and I forgot to turn wide" I ended up footing the bill to fix it because he wanted to have a back woods hillbilly friend of his take it (and probably use it) and weld on a new fender. HOW ABOUT NO, so I just fixed it myself.

The second time one of the ramps came back messed up and one of the battery cables for the winch was melted and of course no one saw anything and no one knows anything....I got the blank stare like "ramp, what's that!?!?!" "the cable was like that" (yea right)

The third time it came back and the spare tire was missing .......again no one saw anything, no one knows anything, "what's a tire".... I ended up having to replace it, out of my own pocket.

So now I just say NO....if they think I am an *** ...oh well, but no one takes it out of my sight. LOL

We have known each other for a really long time because he used to own the other major computer repair place in town.
We have worked together because I hired him to help with some of the jobs that required two people, like setting up a virtual remote network where there are two locations to set up and larger jobs where I just wanted some help and paid him $80 an hour for his help.
We have partied together, camped together and off roaded together and all he ever knew of me was I was good for my word and could be trusted, so I'm sure that made a difference.
In reality I only have two people I call friends, and all three of us are like that with each other.

I remember the post about a torque wrench you loaned out and couldn't get back, and I think that one would have done it for me.
