[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH and I have found that giving freely of our time and labor yields new friendships. We frequently offer to paint the houses of people we meet (we call them friend-targets lol.) Exterior only, but no charge. We also offer to do yard work for people (grass cutting, clearing brush, etc.) also at no charge (other than friendship.) [/quote]

I will add we had/have no experience in housepainting. We (especially DH) just tend to slop the paint on and we've had a couple of complaints about the quality of our work. But it is free and the friends remain free too.[/quote]

LOL I like your style. You could rope in some of your unhoused friends to help out, too. We "hired" someone like this once but they poured the excess paint in our heirloom boxwoods, killing them all, then dove into our pool to wash off all the turpentine from their clothing and hands and hair, and clogged our $750 filter in the process. In the end it would have been cheaper to just hire Hot Hunks Who Move Junk and Paint. Live and learn. Maybe this is why we are friendless.[/quote]
