Exactly Bluedog, and more!
Just last year, my company painted a Fence company's Office/Warehouse exteriors, and I got a new 6' cedar fence around my property in exchange.

But I also trade everyday items, boats, tools, furniture, etc... with others that have things I need or want, no painting involved.
