So my question to all of you is...how would you structure this deal to protect yourself if you were in my friend's shoes (the buyer)?

I hired him because it was a steep pitched roof and I am too old to spend much time,,,and what little time I did couldnt even keep my shoes on my feet.My favorite saying is,,,if you cant do it yourself does it really need doing??

On the other half, I installed a shelf with 6 drawers (2x3) below with 2 shoe shelves below the droors for my personal closet for under $1K.
