He plans to publish s home ex change directory — listing sites, discrip lions and prices from families who want to exchange or rent their homes tempor arily.

The fee for listing to $20.. which includ es a copy of the directory, or the direc tory can be purchased for $10 by those who do not w ant to list their homes. Weems took out a $1.000. loan and mortgaged his car to start the exchange. He considers the new business a kind of hobby. “Call it an avocation. I just got interested and its been an experience. It's teaching me about the business world. Even though this to a very small service the complexities are amazing.n i Weems plans to publish four times a 'y e a r, but the firs t to the hardest Many people w ant to see a copy "to see w hat to available before they list their own homes but if nobody lists them there's going to be nothing to put in the directory.” Weems already has some interesting list ings — a San Francisco house, a Texas ranch, a sheep ranch in Montana, a beach home in Carmel, a home in Vancouver, a camping area in Wisconsin, a bouse in Wisconsin complete w ith use of a Contin ental M a rk II . and several homes in H a waii.
