We met and married in New Mexico some 20 years ago.

We own a Painting business here in Michigan that has been established for 18 years.

Anywho, we were wondering if there is a thread/topic on here for bartering?

We are only in the initial "Lifestyle" research, and have not even visited yet.
We are hoping to be able to do a week very soon, before our busy season when the weather turns warmer.

We are hoping to be able to "snowbird" for a while, so we could be here for the business in spring/summer...and then madly dash to TV...lol!

Again, hope we can meet many of you in coming visits!

Ken and Pam
Are you thinking to barter your services, your painting expertise, for a discount on a home?

I am pretty sure that wouldn't work here. There are team after team of contractors all with specific jobs and many have been employed by the developer for many years. They build homes in 70 days and it is orchestrated like a ballet. When you get here you will see how things are set up and I am pretty sure you will be as wowed as most of us are.

But that doesn't mean that homeowners don't need good painters for their renovations.

Welcome. I hope you will enjoy your LSV.

Continue to ask any questions about this place that come to mind. A lot of us like to help, a few like to argue and some just act like somone just went wee wee in their Cheerios,

You will figure out who is who very soon.
