Have a large job, that is too big for you to tackle on your own, and you can't afford a pro to do it?? Trade it for a donation.

I once had a vacant rental house painted by calling a local church and asking if their youth group would be interested in painting it for a donation. Turns out they were trying to raise funds for a missions trip. I paid them $500 and provided the paint and brushes. The pros wanted $2000 to paint it. It took 25 kids (high school and college) 4 hours and it was done and was a very good job. Win-Win for both parties.

I had a shed that needed to be built. The local FFA goes to Louieville, KY every other year. I called the FFA teacher at the school and, on a Saturday afternoon, 15 boys came and built the shed in about 3 hours for a $300 donation. I already had all the supplies. A local handyman wanted $600 and told me it would take him 4-5 days to do it.
