swollen.
you're not seeing the big picture here.
coming from the a general contractors point of view..
have you ever thought that maybe this person has connections to people who may be interrested in your services? talk shit to them will do you more harm then good. give them a reason to talk shit about you, then you'll be sure never to get good press.
you might not like that you've been done over.. it just happened to me actually..
i did a substantial estimate for a man to refinish his basement. a $20,000 renovation.
he liked my price, my references. he chose me. but before i managed to sit him down to the table, get a deposit from him, we had to sort out his foundation problems. so after 5 visits, about $40 in gas and more than a 4 days worth of time, I eventually just stopped hearing from him.
This was a substantial investment of my time in order to secure this project only to find out that he wasn't going to have it done at all.
it's better that i leave with nothing to say than to snap on his ass - which is what i'd love to do. there's still a chance that i might be referred to someone else by him, or that when he makes up his fukin mind that he wants to spend the money he doesn't have in the end, it will go to me hopefully.
think twice and elevate yourself above the subclass. be a professional. it would be good to see more around.
