My luck usually means finding more tires. Good call from troy_palmer76 on the fresh water, my last "find" just fell apart.

Yeah, that coffee would've been nice. After I got burned once, I started using a basic contract for every single job, no matter how small or how much I trust the person. It just spells out who does what and who owns the work. It feels a bit awkward at first, but it saved me huge headaches later. Now if someone tries to pull a fast one, I can point to the paper we both signed. It turns a messy argument into a simple conversation. Learned that lesson the hard way, for sure.
