I bid a porch and 2 bathremodels in a house this week in trade for a 1981 Delorean. It has 23,??? miles on it. Has anyone else horse traded for interesting stuff.

I tiled a 30 SF floor for a Porter Cable SawsAll. Awesome machine. It has a dial up speed control, and a select switch for wood/metal. I think I will get the trigger fixed, now that I think about it...I also played Monte Hall for my Mural above the wood stove with my Bride, but I can't discuss the payment details on a public forum...

Not sure why I am unregistered-did I not pay my bill?

We have lots of stuff in the garage that I don't want. Who wants to tile my kitchen, utility room, powder room, and children's bathroom???? :D

Come on now, don't be shy. I'll even sit there and watch you :yipee:

Opie, I had read about that post but didn't know she was 70! How funny.

Oh, I should have put a disclaimer: Two Hondas not included!
It's sort of a surprise. You come out and do the job and then I let you loose in the garage :D

You interested?

No tiling involved (carpenter here), but I took a customers boat instead of that last payment..... Drove it right out of the canal they live on one friday after work, was fishing on it the next morning... :laugh2:

Back when I was a union apprentice, one of the first residential side jobs I ever did was a kitchen floor for a Weatherby Lasermark Mark V 30/06. That was better to me than ANY money they could have offered!

Bill, with all the tiling they're going to be doing, they will need FOOD. But if they'll work for BEER alone, the job is waiting! There is a catch though...

Heavy drinking to begin....AFTER the job is completed ;) :D
