Writing to companies for free work?

Options
I remember seeing on a restoration program that they wrote to companies to do the work for free as a means of training/advertising.

obviously i know this is probably because it is on a TV program,

but has anyone ever tried it?

    The words "i" and "do" and "not" and "think" and "that" and "will" and "be" and "successful" spring to mind :D

    indeed - you will only get work for free is you can offer something of value in return... what were you thinking of offering?
  • Its hard enough getting someone out to give you an estimate round here let alone do the work for free.
    I think you'll be sadly disappointed to be honest but I wish you luck.
