    I watched many friends and family with a partnership go down in flames over seemingly minor disagreements that took on a life of their own. Had the details been worked out in writing ahead of time things likely would have worked out. Time to move on in a way that will salvage your friendship, however in a discreet way try to find out what he is spending gas, vehicle maintenance, insurance etc..... That way you know exactly what you will be facing for costs when he is no longer a partner.

    Seriously consider hiring a helper when needed for big projects. Upfront make it perfectly clear on what you expect, what defines your ideas of a job well done , and what you will pay. I will never "partner" with a friend or family member, yet i will help them out for fair agreed upon pay. No surprises and we all win.

    Lastly, the time you get "working" with your dad is worth more than anything you scrap.
