I need some fencing to protect my commercial garden plants from being eaten by deer.

Objective: obtain fencing for my garden.

 

Scenario A: I could go to work as a reviewer for Consumer Reports and earn $100.

I could then go to Home Depot and buy $100 of fencing and install around my commercial garden.

Labor earns $100 income, fence installed at garden; expense $100.  Objective met.

 

Scenario B: I could review Vine fencing and earn $100 of fencing (per 1099-NEC).

I then install the $100 value fencing at garden; expense $100.  Objective met.
