So this summer I've started barter painting. Now you're like wha? No I don't paint barters...rather I paint in trade for a product or service. It started with painting a friend of the family's vegetable stand window in trade for some plumbing work in the bathroom. Now in the same shopping center I'm going to do windows for a hot dog stand and a liquor shop. In trade I get....dirt.
Yes I actually am trading for dirt. I've been wanting to do some landscaping under shade trees, around the rose bushes, and build some raised beds in the garden so I am bartering for top soil. Now you may be looking at the date of my post and thinking....okay...it says July, and she's in South Carolina where it's in the 90's everyday all summer. Fear not, for I do my painting backwards and from the inside! Not only does it keep the acrylic looking nice and out of the weather and away from tempted bystanders with keys, I also get to paint it all in the air conditioning, hooray!
The only hard part is having one car right now, so Daniel and I have to coordinate when either he doesn't need a car or can drop me off and pick me up. I'm thinking maybe I need to barter with a mechanic next? Know anyone?
