So you guys got me thinking about it... I will do his repair, but only because I already told him that I would and I am certain he isnt a sue-happy kind of guy. For payment (which hadnt been discussed 'till today) we agreed that we would trade my labor for his some of his fishing equipment, as I am not set up for catfishing. Im still a new guy in Iowa, and there werent any catfish in Colorado. Oh yeah... and he threw in that case of beer.

 

Hope it goes well. I never hesitate to help someone out. Just make sure each party has the same expectaions. Good luck.
