bartering...

Paid the handi-man $25 to fix that window I broke this summer. Yes, the mix of tape and glass was getting to my conscience so I decided it needed to really be fixed. After that, I asked him what he wanted me to pay. he said nothing (his parents are our neighbors) but it took him an hour, so I gave him $25. He then fixed our storm door and after 4 hours of sawing and screwing and everything else to that pathetic excuse for a door, he said he felt like he earned his $25. wow.

Anyways, after ward, he asked what kind of dr my husby was going to be. His wife has mega ankle problems and I said he could ask Svend for a second opinion if he wanted. He said he would really appreciate that because she can't even walk really and she's only 46. He then told me whatever else I needed fixed to just call him and he'd do it...free. WOW. I'm excited about the prospects of this career choice :) Hopefully Svend is willing :) :) :)
