Fan-led charity drives

I knew T. would show up👍..
and honestly, Angela Newman3 has a heart of gold... you just don't see people like her much anymore nowadays

Guys, seriously—we need a truck, a van, a tractor... hell, even a horse and carriage at this point. Anything works.

I'm totally losing it here.🤣

Look, if those semi-trucks don't show up tomorrow, we are absolutely screwed—like, totally stranded... I mean, sure, we’ve got plenty of guys out there ready to grind on the ground, but without the heavy lifting, we can't even touch the core part of this job. We'll just be standing around looking useless while the whole project goes south...

I'm at my wit's end. 🤣

Are you talking about hauling junk and trash, or something else?

If we're all heading down to Washington, D.C. $133 then it’s a ton of work—we'll actually have to go out and buy those official municipal waste stickers through the local government registry...

Not sure if Angela Newman33 is still hanging around here, but I’m pretty damn certain she was talking about garbage...

Alright, it’s all set

The sanitation truck is scheduled to swing by on Monday—so we’ll need to get everything piled up over the weekend

I'll just settle up with $167 once they show up to grab it

Maybe two or three guys should swing by on Monday to help with the loading

So, what... are we talking freebies here, or what??

That truck was ordered specifically for Monday.🤷
There’s a massive pile of junk sitting out there right now, and they’re planning to clear that mess out tomorrow. Honestly, sending a truck in already feels like a waste of resources—it's just not needed yet.
By the way, the beer situation's sorted.👍

silentsailor28 said:look, without trucks we’re basically screwed tomorrow—sure, we could spend all day out in the yard, but we won't get any of the heavy lifting done.

got a massive to-do list for tomorrow:

- haul all the trash to the pile for Monday.
- sand down the drywall on the ceiling.
- patch up the ceiling.
- install the window.
- tear down that bathroom wall.
- rip out the tub and tiles and toss everything outside.

there's a massive pile of junk over there and we need to clear that whole mess out tomorrow, so we don't actually need the truck just yet.
by the way, beers are sorted.👍

hehehe, honestly, as long as the beer situation is handled... regarding the trash—I know exactly that mountain of crap you saw next to the Jaguar. Most of that was our doing, though we did clear out a decent chunk of it ourselves. Of course, if I had my way, I'd just take the Jaguar and bolt🙂

silentsailor28 said:hehehe, at least the beer guys are sorted out regarding the trash—I know that pile you saw next to the Ford was mostly our mess, but we actually cleared a decent chunk of it. Honestly, if I had the choice, I'd grab that Ford in a heartbeat🙂

The Ford is getting shoved into one of those garages that looks like it might collapse at any second
that was already decided last time

As long as the beer is cold... let's face it, guys don't run on solar power 🤣

Since you have no clue what tools the crew is actually going to bring, do yourself a favor and make sure you coordinate with the contractors to ensure everything you need is on-site. Consider the first two points and the last two already handled. Tearing stuff apart and leaving a mess behind? That’s just how we do things here.😁

whatever, man, it’s all just dust anyway—I guess I'll just be the hero here and haul the whole mess over to the local landfill on my own dime...🙂🙂🤣😂

Hey, if anyone’s heading out from the suburbs near Chicago tomorrow, hit me up—I can hook you up with a killer deal on a ride...🙂

As for those first two points and the last couple—consider them done. Honestly, tearing things apart and leaving a mess behind is basically in our DNA at this point.😁

Word on the street is there’s gonna be some tools coming—at least, that’s what people are saying.

If anyone tries to play me, they’re gonna find out real quick—things are gonna get messy. 🙂

Angela Newman33 said:supposedly they're bringing tools, according to what people are saying

if I'm getting played here, there's gonna be hell to pay🙂

Just checking in from the neighborhood to let you know two handymen are rolling up with their gear, plus me—and I'm definitely down for a drink. P.S. we've got the putty knives and spatulas covered, so you guys just worry about cracking open the beers...
Someone tell the Police Chief we're showing up happy and ready for the game.

Someone needs to give the local police department a heads-up that we’re showing up to the game in high spirits and ready to have a good time.

Perfect. Looks like I’m just going to spend my morning soaking up the sun and cracking open some beers. Honestly, what more could a guy ask for on a beautiful morning like this?🤷
Even the betting slips didn't pan out this time, so I'm buying drinks for everyone who stops by the shop.👍
