I actually did do some barter cleanings last summer. Even ran an ad on it.
Got a golf cart with a maint dump bed for a deck staining....kept it
Got a boat shell and boat trailer...sold it
Got 2 kayaks for a 2 hr brick cleaning.....sold them for $300
Traded 6 hours of flatwork for 36 water park passes
Traded engine work for house wash...
Paid a broker with a deck clean
I'm going to run the same ad again next summer.....this time I want to also target businesses and fish for a couple of trucks and trailers, maybe a boom truck. The Golf cart works out great for our amusement park work.....I can buzz all over the park. Saves time walking and unhooking the rig from the truck.
