Before MARVIN, HIGHTOWER and BROWN, JJ.


MARVIN, Chief Judge.

In this action for the return of $15,000 paid as what the litigants styled sometimes either as a "down [payment]" or "deposit" to a building contractor by Plaintiff Baldwin, the contractor, Bass, appeals a judgment awarding Mrs. Baldwin $14,000 which effectively allowed Bass $1,000 on his reconventional demand for his paying for a change in the house plans and for preliminary work done on the residential lot after the $15,000 was paid him.
