being in numerous businesses, one was i built homes for 40+ years and i still remember the first time i had to sign a contract. a guy came to look at car parts and got to talking and told him i was a home builder. they were looking at building a new home but were uneasy with the builder that a realtor was pushing on them. after several talks they decided to go with me and his realtor told him that he was making a big mistake using a "car buddy" to build their home. well i had told him my father built homes for 35 years and i had been building and always did on a handshake and neither of us had had a lawsuit. the bank insisted on a contract so we drew one up and signed it. fast forward 30 years i cant begin to tell you how many commercial projects from buildings to tenant improvement and remodels, new homes over 10k sq ft i have built for him and we have never had a cross word with each other. we refer to my business as "car buddy construction co" and he is the only person i will still build for today.
