Default Craigs List Barter - How I Got My House AC Checked - For Free

Thanks Gordon,

After talking to my Dairy Farmer Neighbors who were bartering
with deer hunters - to get their Cow Barn Manure Cleared out AND their
fence line WeedWacked - in Return for Hunting Privileges.

I went on Craigs list
and found this...

*******************
"Hi I'm a licensed Hvac Tech and am looking for property to deer hunt on starting in September. Can barter my A/c services or pay cash or BOTH. very serious about finding a nice piece of woods to hunt. Respectful veteran. Let me know if we can work something out. Thanks!! Text is preferred. Jerry"

*******************
----------
We Traded emails.

Then I called him.

Jerry is a Retired Army Vet who loves to hunt.

When I called he was down on the Eastern Shore of Maryland
hunting Turkeys.

-----------
Anyway...

A - We agreed to meet when he gets back.

B - I told him we literally have HERDS of deer all over the place

C - Jerry has agreed to Check out my House AC System. And look at some
50 yr old pipes and water fixtures that are dripping.

(EDITORS NOTE - Call any HVAC or plumbing company. The bill from a Plumber
6 months back was over 800 Smackers. A simple leak but he didn't have the
right size pipe. So the bill got huge.)

A DOUBLE Win for me too.

Cuz I've been looking for hunters I can TRUST not to shoot holes in the
roof or the house. AND who can thin out the local deer herd.

Even the fawns think I am planting Vegetables for THEM.
(How do I know what ate the tops off my collards or Tomatoes? Tiny pointed feet in the mud.)

Thanks,
Glenn

P.S. - Check out your local Free and Barter Craigs List section. You too
might find something you can Barter for or Get For F-r-e-e.
