Shel, my husband did many jobs in trade. Look for a proffesional contractor
who might need something you can provide and is willing to trade. The windows in our sunroom, (14 long widow panels) we got in trade from a widow lady who
needed plumbing repairs on her home. She had them in storage for 15 years.
It was great for both of us. It costs contractors so much to do business that we figured out if my hubby charged $35 /hr, after he paid liscense fees, ins and all the other fees he was lucky to make $15 per hour. (The reason he now works for the Federal Park system) No fees and a steady pay check!
