Chalk it to experience.

Rant on. An old friend calls me up and says his son need an asbuilt for a commercial real estate transaction. I told him if he needs it right away, he'd be best off calling another surveyor because I have a full time job and lots to do at home to ready for winter. But I've been looking to get a little experience in the private sector so I agree to do it for him for what I think is a reasonable price. Give me a chance to dust off my personal equipment and take it for a spin. He gives me the go ahead so I take one of my precious weekends, working in the rain all day, I get 90% of the field work done. This morning I get a call from his son's wife. Oh, we just found a surveyor that will do it for less. So sorry. Chalking it up to experience. I will never, ever do work for anyone, even a close friend without a signed contract with the person writing the check. I bit my tongue and wished her a nice day. Lesson learned. Rant off. Carry on.
