******* Legal Advice Needed ASAP ********

That's what I'm thinking. It's not like we met one time.. I did a ton of work and then I'm asking him to pay me for something that I did without his knowledge. We met on an off for nearly a year... me going to his residence atleast 4 times and each time us discussing the site and reviewing it, making changes, etc and me explaining what we want done to our house, etc. It's fairly obvious that he knew I was holding good on my end of the oral agreement.
