[QUOTE="Bigfoot, post: 943329, member: 17956"] Rhune, It's easy to see how you got caught up in this. As a "man of honor" you put a lot of faith in a hand shake. Unfortunately the other party was not as honorable. I do almost all of business the same way. Sure I have been burned by it, but I plan to continue doing trades that way. About 80 years ago my grandfather made a hand shake deal with a neighbor to move a fence so the neighbor could have access to a spring on his place. When my mother inherited the place she honored the hand shake. When I bought the place, I honored the hand shake. The guy only had three or four acres and a house. When his children inherited it a few years ago they sold it immediately. His children insinuated I was a thief when I wanted to move the fence back to the property line before they sold it. I rolled over and took it. Neither deed was clear where the property line was, although me and the old man knew. It doesn't make me any less of a man. It does say volumes about his children's character. [/QUOTE]
