Trade-in-Favors

Porch notes

Before you say yes

Things to think about before using the board. Not a contract — just porch-light sense so a swap stays sweet.

The job, and the not-the-job. Spell out what you’re doing, and what you’re not.
Clock and corner. When, where, and how long?
Whose toolbox? Do you bring the tools, or do I need to have them?
Show your chops. Done this before? A photo or a similar job beats a tall tale.
Who’s on the porch? Only folks you both agreed on. No kids doing the work, and nobody extra.
If it goes sideways. What if it isn’t finished, or something gets damaged?
Swap, not cash. Name the return. Favors for favors — not a wallet.
Rain-check rules. Can you both cancel if plans change, and how much notice?
Licensed stuff? Skip it. Electrical, plumbing, or medical — this board doesn’t cover that.
Leave a breadcrumb. Afterward, a quick note so the next neighbor isn’t guessing.

What this is

Trade-in-Favors is a place to post offers and needs for neighbor services and favors. The board only shows the post. The swap is between the people involved.

Before you say yes

Before you accept or arrange a swap, use the “Before you say yes” list on the board. It isn’t a contract, just a way to avoid a bad swap. Talk through the work, the timing, the tools, who will be there, and what happens if it isn’t finished. The return is a swap, not cash. Skip anything licensed, like electrical, plumbing, or medical. Afterward you can leave a positive note only: “Would recommend” or “Would use again.”

How swaps work

No money is held by the board.
“I’m interested” only helps you write a message. You send it yourself.
Meet in a public place when you can. You decide whether to trade.

Your responsibility

You are responsible for what you post and for any swap you make. You use the board at your own risk.

🚨 The board’s limit

To the fullest extent allowed by law, the person(s) running Trade-in-Favors is not liable for injuries, losses, bad swaps, or disputes between users.
