Yeah that may be a tad long LOL. I really am just needing a very cut and dry contract, but thanks man!

Actually, this is a good exercise for a student to do on their own, without the help of professionals.

Just think through all the areas in building a deck, or providing a service like this, where there would be liability. Then, think of all the things that you are responsible for providing for the project, and what the client must provide - basically your scope of work. Tell them when you expect to get paid, how you expect to be paid, and when you will get started/completed. Don't make any guarantees that you don't have to, and make sure it makes sense to you.

Good luck

I think advice from a pro is a good idea, though. There's a line from a movie that goes something like, "There are 50 ways to **** things up. If you can think of 25 of them beforehand you're a genius."

I figured the same thing, I'm not trying to short hand this project, I was just trying to get an idea from someone who knows firsthand. Our Prof said we could use those in the business to solicit ideas and information from.
