I'm just south of you in the Hernando area and would be happy to talk ball with you.

Gut it out until the end of January with this person and either a) play more hard ball about the vehicle and other stuff b) play it softer and just gut it out with them2.

Not a 70% deal, but at least you're getting a discount with some work on your end.3) Make a bunch of low ball offers.

My GC primed and painted over them a few times thinking they were just old, stubborn stains that needed extra product, but they kept coming back after each rainfall.I hired a water intrusion detection company to help me pinpoint the problem - they said the new roof seemed solid and that based on infrared and temperature readings, the moisture is coming in from the partition walls.

Seems like a real cash cow if you get ahead of the ball. 

We advertisers would buy banners and email links, sponsor crap and flourish all without the consumer (eye balls) being force fed.   

Heck, I run it and print it out for a seller and include it with my PA as justification to my #'s that I am not just low-balling em but here is the facts, I'm gonna have this n that price coming up. 

He did as you thought, held it for a friend and then the employees dropped the ball and didn't follow up.
