Howdy Franklin,
My screen name is bartermn, given to me by a friend years ago when I 
first went online. He and I are currently in a(nother) barter deal, 
carpentry and woodworking for mechanical work and labor. Leaning against 
my office wall are two pieces of cherry boards that I doweled together 
last week for a tabletop for him. I spent over thirty hours the past 
month installing soffit and fascia, electrical outlets, insulation, etc. 
 at his place. In return he has put in about the same amount of time 
here helping me get my garden tractor running, cutting firewood, mowing 
pasture and fixing my truck.

If I remember right, the handle bartermn came about when he saw me 
packing worms from my compost pile in a box to send to Texas or Maine in 
return for some handmade soap.

You aren't affiliated with IRS are you? :)
