Default Skill Sharing.....

It strikes me that there is a lot of talent on these forums....

So when i was scraping the tiles off of my bathroom i had this idea - perhaps if there is a tiler out there (or keen DIY'er) who would like to swap skills - basically he (or she) comes to my house and scrapes all the old adhesive off the walls

meanwhile

As i am very good at lying down, eating and drinking lager (ask the wife) - i will happily go to their house and lie down on their sofa, eat their food and drink their beer.

I am happy to provide references - indeed i am sure the wife will happily take photos.

Feel free to PM me and we can sort out dates etc..

I already have a man who very is skilled at lying down, eating and drinking lager, why would I get another man to come and do it for him? On the other hand, how are you at mowing lawns & trimming flower beds? I'll do your tiles if you'll do a bit of my gardening?
