A homeowner cannot even come close because they do not know anything about construction.A good SOW is developed by 1) the Contractor's reading of the plans and putting that info into clear verbiage that can be understood by all 2) the homeowner making crystal clear what they desire in terms of finishes like tile, counters and cabinets, paint colors and types, Etc....I don't think you mentioned another document that is almost as important - the Change Order.

Basically, when I really understood the significance of my efforts and how they directly contributed to family business/lifestyle in general and my life specifically, that my responsibility and contribution had a real bottom line impact for all of us, that's when my efforts and results increased significantly and I eventually grew past their knowledge base.Keep doing what you are already doing, eventually he will earn his partner status and either allow you to retire, as he runs the family assets/trust(his future inheritance) or strike out on his own with you as his primary/initial investor, of course still holding him to the same standards you would for any business partner(more difficult to do with family)You don't need to rush/force anything, keep being a great dad!

So yes I understood that i should have changed the article.

I'm sorry I don't think you guys understood my original post.

The realtor understood the situation and put the closing documents on the FRONT PORCH of the house I bought, knowing I was in CA. 

Understood Michael hopefully the bad experiences will help you appreciate the good wholesalers that much more.  

I met an agent that understood the possibilities and she cast a new vision for us.

I don't think she really understood that and she got a bit lucky but she came out with a decent resolution.She's been going on and on about how bad this company is and I just feel so frustrated that there are companies that are willing to treat their clients so poorly.
