MMM skill share / swap
« on: July 09, 2019, 10:38:57 AM »
As a community of people who are generally avid DIY-ers both for learning / personal growth and financial reasons, I'm a bit surprised that there isn't (or I have not yet found) a skill-share/swap thread.  If there is one, please link me!

I live in northern NJ and need some minor roof repair (slipping shingles) and may need wallpaper installed soon, neither of which are skills I currently possess.  I do have a garage / lift and a reasonable skillset for automotive repair, so it'd be really convenient to find someone who'd show me how to fix my roof in exchange for learning how to do brakes on their car (or whatever other task).

What do you all think? Does this already exist somewhere?

I think it already exists: there are offers like yours on the Mustachian Marketplace board.

I did not know that you lived there... for some reason i thought bay area (because so manyhere are coders in the bay area?).

Your idea is a great one.  Next thought is a commune of mustachians....
