Hey friend. Sorry to read this is happening to you. The best thing is to get the job done and move on. Don't take on extra duties or anything. I know this is hard to see this woman around but the faster you get the work done; the faster you can leave (in a professional manner). Best wishes to you bud.

if i pulled out now she would be so screwed. i have big piles of dirt all around her house from digging around the basement. lol. i think what hurts the most is that someone i thought was a good friend has done this to me.

id ask her if her bf knows she flirts the way she does? i bet it will stop and u can continue on....

thanks hot chickosity.

ps if u thought she was a good friend u would of known already she had a bf

yah this whole illusion has been going on for about 4 years.

Business is business Bro. I would treat her like a regular customer and imediatly stop playing any of her games. Suck it up and move on. Hopefully she won't ask you whats wrong becouse that would open a can of worms.

strike it off as an interest and u made a mistake of being interested this time........ and next time u will be more aware sorry that happened to ya

I apologize before I even say this but grow some nuts and confront her.

I was led on by 1 girl my entire life and learned to say screw her. I learned confrontation is a good thing in a situation like this; because otherwise you are always in the weaker position

Be a man, stop complaining about it online and go do something about it.

She can find another contractor. She did this to you, not you to her. Remember that.

i agree keep finishing the job cause it is your business... you have a reputation to keep... and if she bothers you tell her that you have work to finish...

the problem here is that pulling out would be my knee jerk reaction at this point. your right though.... she is bringing this upon herself. didnt think of it like that.
my thinking at this particular moment is to finish the waterproofing, get her yard back together ( full retail of course) and then fold on the rest of the work.

Been here once before.....unfortunately some people we think we know turn out different later on due to influences beyond our control. As for the job my friend, I am self employed too and I agree with what you have said here. Finish in a professional manner but Indian is right also...flirt very little and not so sweet...feel me? nice but not too nice like you probably were before all of this...and as for the friendship sir...that will be u[p to you...but remember this.....time can heal things....you are suppose to forgive......not forget.Kinda like.....if you ever did anyone wrong in the past.....don't you hope they forgave you in time too? I hope this helps you bud.Ifyou wanna talk more feel free to send me a mail and we can talk.

true....but I'm sure he can use the work and the money Lil

You don't have a signed contract for the work?

He said he was busy... and didn't need it. My pride is worth more than the money, as is Rambill's, I know.

OP~ I think you need to do whatever you need to do to sleep at night and walk away with closure and your head held high.

in a recession last time I checked specially a slumping housing market you don't turn down work or money no matter how busy you are...... That would be insane and idiotic. Business suicide

your business name and rep are everything and if he "just pulls out" those are all history.....And if he is a true business man and been here for a grip.....he knows I'm right

question is.... did you take the job for the job or did you take the job for a date...

now now........probably a lil of both...might have taken it to help her out and save her some dough too though
