Angela Newman33 said:Here’s the game plan for tomorrow:

1. Finish up the drywall mudding and start on the painting
2. Knock out those bathroom windows and brick them up
3. Rip up the bathroom floor tiles and level everything out
4. Get the plumbing installed
5. Deep clean the entire backyard
6. Dig the trench and lay down the water line

7. (If we actually get through the rest) Start laying the laminate flooring

That’s the list as it stands right now.

Now we just need to split into crews based on how many people show up and who knows how to handle specific tasks.
😁

I’m bringing an extra 6 or 7 people, maybe some more for Sunday too.

I'll take the demolition shift.😁 I'm gonna go hunt down some extra tools for that.

Look, me and my buddy will definitely be there between 10 and 11. Since we have zero info on what's actually needed, we’re bringing extra tools just in case—we might end up finishing some painting instead of hiring a pro, or maybe laying down some laminate...

You're gonna be late because your brother and I have a date at 8:30, and you still owe us two rounds.
Don't go making promises if you don't have a van, because I spent 20 minutes 🤣 loading stuff up just so we could haul it together tomorrow. Plus, I've got a motorcycle, an axe, two hatchets, a hand saw, and two rakes coming, so I'm pretty much armed for a small raid on San Francisco... Oh, and I brought a shovel too, just in case we need to bury the evidence.

I just hope those folks from the South who think they're coming down here to help see that I've already got my motorcycle ready...😛

The Southerners are showing up in pretty small numbers... but even if it's just one of them, they'll probably end up stuck on some old beat-up car😁..just as I'm starting to make some real money for you... now you can just pay me thirty bucks to wash it☕

Anyway, my buddy and I should be arriving right between 10 and 11... since we don't have any specific details yet, we're bringing a whole kit of tools just in case. We might end up finishing up some painting instead of hiring a pro, or maybe we'll just lay down some laminate flooring...

Angela Newman33 said:Do you really think it would help if another woman stepped in and asked her to let you go? 🤣

And man, he was a hard worker—did his part, you know how it goes... 🙂
I just hope those folks down South who are planning on coming by to help realize I've got my motorcycle ready to roll...😛

Angela Newman33 said:Wait, is that actually you? I didn't recognize you at all! 😁

Yeah, yeah... totally riding a motorcycle 🎉

Well, Gleć, your signature said you weren't a fish, so...
I wish! If only my wife would let me go to the game and sort out a ride for me. As for food, I'll just handle that myself.

Angela Newman33 said:is still

The guy I hired for the painting job totally flaked on me again today. He’s ghosting my calls—what an absolute jerk. 😢

Because of his nonsense, we're basically guessing when the laminate flooring will be done and when the kids can actually 😢move into the house.

I'm going to try to get at least the ceilings started tonight, then once we all get together tomorrow, we can divvy up the rest of the work.

Can you give me an update later tonight? I want to make sure my buddies know exactly what kind of tools they need to bring.

Angela Newman33 said:I'm gonna tell the cook to get things sorted out now.

I had to give my wife her old username back. Anyway, I'll swing by tomorrow morning for a beer since you guys keep inviting me. I'll bring some gear and tools if anyone's looking to work on their bike...

Noah Ross7 said:A million bucks.

And you've got a deal.

Sign me up, though I'd take half if it meant less paperwork.

Hey, could you shoot me a DM with the details? I'd love to figure out when and where we can meet up about that wardrobe... let's get this sorted out ASAP.

Angela Newman33 said:If he shows up early in the morning and gets too much momentum, he'll be at my door before I know it... and the doors aren't even installed yet... then he'll just be sitting there waiting on me and wasting his entire day

Look, worst-case scenario, he can just skip those doors for now. You can always fix things later if you can't find a contractor right away (I personally don't see that as a big deal, and you shouldn't have to bother a handyman to come back for minor stuff)... we aren't rookies, we'll figure it out😁....

I'm going to call this idiot later today and try to work something out if I can... besides, I have a bit of a timeline at work... and right now, I can't just drop everything whenever the mood strikes me🤷...

Anonymous said:I can't make it that early... it's a workday. I won't be free until around 5:30.I'll touch base with Sandra Garcia7; she said she’d shoot me a text once we talk. Honestly, though, that guy doesn't get anything done at his actual job—he just spends all day venting on these forums.😁...

I feel that on a deep level. It’s like I’m giving it everything I've got, but people still look at me like I'm just being lazy. It's incredibly frustrating when you're actually grinding, but nobody sees the effort behind the scenes. 🙂Angela Newman33, give this some thought. 🤷Man, today just wouldn't end. It felt like the day was dragging on forever, stretching well past 6:00 PM.

Nathan Ramirez11 said:Angela Newman33 says there’s no way we missed each other—if I had walked in just as you were heading out, we would've bumped right into one another.🤷Man, give me a second... damn. Honestly, my best move was riding my bike straight inside, but now I’ve got a little problem. My daughter asks if she can take it for a spin, and of course, being a dad, I say "sure, go for it." Fast forward fifteen minutes later, and she looks up at me with those eyes and asks if I'll just give her the bike as a gift. Now I'm in trouble.😎😁

🙏 She’s a little queen, isn't she? But honestly, I caught a nasty case of the flu, so there's no way I'm making it this Saturday. 🙂😬

Angela Newman33 said:You can either ship a package or just wire some cash to my account.

Got it, I'll shoot you a DM in a bit.

I’d love to help out, but since I’m nowhere near Chicago, I can't really jump in to assist in person... though I am wondering, is there any other way to get involved?

Are we still on for tomorrow?

I want to bring some picture books and cartoons for the kids—I'll try to scramble together a few more fun things too.

The dealer and his crew will probably roll up in those beat-up old sedans 🙂

Nathan Ramirez11 said:I honestly wish I could've just tied up that little pup too... man, I was sweating bullets walking those 50 or 100 feet from the driveway to the front door, and even then, the little one was leading the way. Those two big ones were sniffing my business the whole time, and the little girl kept nipping at my pant legs the entire walk..☕.. I’m sending a pro your way this Saturday, so please be nice to him..🙂

😂 I'm dying here.

Honestly, they're pretty chill; the only thing is that huge beast gets a little grumpy if you stop petting her😍.

Don't tell me you were right behind me.. what a missed opportunity.🤷

Edward Long73 said:If not, I'll pass this along to my professor. He mentioned he could probably help sort out the bathroom situation...😉

Actually, I think I even have an extra toilet tank sitting in my garage, still in the box. If that helps, I’m happy to donate it...🙂

Just shoot me a DM if you need it, otherwise, you can always grab some supplies at the local CVS.😉

toilet flush valves
bathroom vanity with mirror
shower and sink faucets

Since I’m a bit out of the loop, what ended up happening with this?

Angela Newman33 said:Hey, shoot me a DM with your number so we can coordinate a time to meet up.

We’ll be there tomorrow from about 10 or 11 AM until maybe noon.
Just waiting to see if the contractor needs an extra hand with anything.

I can't make it that early... it's a workday. I won't be free until around 5:30 PM. Just touch base with Sandra Garcia7; she'll text my cell. Honestly, he barely does anything at his actual job—he just spends all day venting on internet forums...😁...

Hey, does anyone from social services or those damn government bureaucrats actually give a damn about these kids?

Because if we fix everything now—pouring in all our time, effort, and money—only to watch it all fall apart again in six months, then what was even the point? 😉
