The Junk Man
Yes he did.
Heh-heh, I would have used that if that's what I had, but a while before all this happened I picked up a "free" commercial-sized wood chipper, the kind towed behind commercial trucks (i.e. not a pickup truck). It had a blown diesel 3-cyl and I swapped that out with a Buick V6 I had lying around for another project I never got around to so it was an "easy" repair in a sense. I had to re-drill the giant pulley that was on the diesel's crankshaft to fit onto the Buick's crankshaft and I couldn't get the setup of that job accurate enough on my lathe so I farmed that job out for $250, plus another $250 to rebalance the pulley (which was also the flywheel) to match the balance of the Buick V6.
What the diesel probably gave in torque I had in RPMs with the Buick, so it worked out just fine in the end. For an exhaust system I used the standard car manifolds with a standard y-pipe that I shortened and bent "upwards" and welded on a "purple hornie" glasspack muffler I had lying around.
No, but he did other things. He got himself a valve fork and turned off the water to my house once. Another time he broke my electrical meter on the outside of the house with a rock or brick and other things of that nature.
I retalitated each time, usually severely. I won't get into it because of that and you'll have to use your imagination ;-)
For me that property was an investment property - bought cheap, remodel quickly, sell for profit. I only lived there three years and gave me the down payment and some running cash when I bought this house a state away.
(of course i wouldnt to begin with, but you know what i mean lol)
The problem is actually one step before that, though I agree with your statement. The actual problem is people need to believe they are truly accountable for their behavior, and behave in such a manner that does not have negative consequences.
But that would require a global rewiring of the human mind so, we're left with "justice" and "punishment".
