Does anyone else have a hard time getting friends over to help wrench? I have a nice heated pole barn with a stocked fridge, nice tools and a good radio but have a hell of a time to get any company.
Usually I don't necessarily need help just some company would be nice. It seems like its getting harder and harder to get people to come over. It doesn't help I guess that all of my friends that were into jeeping now don't have a jeep.
I guess the upside is right now I'm working in the shed with the radio cranked up with Rhianna on more beer for me.
I have a big heated shop but the people I share it with constantly keep it looking like a bomb went off in there. As for getting help, when they are there and I need help, they help.
I'm so busy, kids, job, wife, I don't have time to wrench on my stuff, let alone help others with their rigs. At a certain point, ppl stop having time.
People always come over to hang out in the barn. We usually drink too much beer and don't get anything done. If I want to get anything done I work alone.
When friends or family need their stuff worked on their here in the garage ready to go but when I could use a hand nobody is ever around or their busy.
I prefer to work alone the vast majority of the time, even when it's twice as hard to do it on my own. If I need help I'll get it but usually when people are around it's to drink beer and not do anything productive.

Usually the only time I get "help" is when I don't need it, with the exception of my Dad. He's a go-getter but runs out of steam around dinnertime. I already dug 4 holes and planted fruit trees in them this morning. Most people I know aren't up yet.
There are a lot of people that I only see when they want to work on shit in my garage (which usually involves around me working on their shit in my garage). That has been thinning out also though as people keep buying Ford, Fiat (Chrysler), or foreign so I don't work on it. It's been pretty quiet around here since last fall.
I don't really miss it. But I can't blame the garage being a mess on anyone else.
Usually the help I get I don't want. There are few people that I want to help out but I will help any of my friends. I just wish some of them were more knowledgeable in the areas that they want my help.
