I would let the friend know that you have 2 hats.

Smaller companies with one single person wearing many hats is very common for this to happen.

It’s very similar to a reverse exchange structure where you as taxpayer lend the QI (where’s a different hat than QI in the part of transaction) the money to buy the land.  

My hat is off to you!

Hey @Civic Xyooj how often do you wear your contractor hat?  

In any regards, think of your direct mail projects with a marketing hat on.

Hat's off to you my friend! 

Hello, found thread and thought I would throw hat in as well. 

Have you put your name into the hat to be a guest on the BP Podcast sometime?

On one house I have they left the trusses alone, but ate away all the 1X3 ceiling furring strips nailed to the bottom of the trusses, turned them into swiss cheese i can crunch with bare hands.
