Could you draft an agreement and both parties sign it prior to working for him? Detail what you will and will not do. It doens't need to be complicated, but having it written down and signed greatly reduces his "negoitating" after the project.
I took a project management class about this last semester. I wrote mock proposals, bids and contracts for construction and demolition projects.
You could tell him that as you are growing your business, you find it necessary to keep things simple for both parties, so you will now be signing basic contracts prior to accepting projects.
I know that in freelance work, there are no spelled out rules, but this covers you and your crew as it is not fair to them either. The economy is tight right now which is probably why he doing this, but you have to look out for yourself and a contract is one way to do that while retaining his business for the time being.
