Owner of a house near us was a tradesman and traded talents with other
tradesmen to upgrade their home to sell. Dependent on being talented
and IN the trades it seems.

I haven't arranged this in my neighborhood yet (and intend to), but a
friend has a neighborhood men's group of about 5-6 guys who go to each
other's houses to do some project for 2 hours. My friend recently put
up sheetrock and insulation in his garage. So that saves on labor,
maybe on tool rental (use each others tools), but increase the beer and
pizza budget.
