Field report:

Does anyone actually know when the donation window closes for Rachel’s family?!? Seriously, every single time there's some kind of charity drive going on, they just never specify an end date... it's so frustrating.

Angela Newman33 said:Here's the field report from the action:

We're talking maybe 15 to 20 people total, with about 15 of them being actual fans...😕

Or it's 15 to 20 people, including 15 fans...😂

Nathan Ramirez11 said:maybe 15-20 people total, with 15 of them being fans...😕

or 15-20 people AND 15 fans...😂

I wasn't exactly counting,
but I'm pretty sure there were at least 8 non-fans, if I recall correctly

and at least 12 fans

Is that specific enough for you?

Where even were you? 😁

Since I didn't really know most of the people there, it was kind of hard to tell who was actually a fan... I'm guessing it was just everyone who headed over to the game after 😁

Greetings to everyone from a pro over here in Naperville. You guys were absolute legends—especially the painting and drywall crew. I also want to send my respect to the guys who stuck it out until the very end. A special shout-out goes to Angela Newman33 via DM. I truly hope this isn't our last time crossing paths. VIVA LA GALAXY!
I can’t let the memory fade regarding that lady who kept the kids perfectly sorted—everything from keeping them bathed and groomed to making sure the laundry was always spotless. And I have to mention her husband; the man is an absolute powerhouse, a true jack-of-all-trades who can fix just about anything.

Way to go, team! Huge props to everyone involved👍

Huge props to everyone who showed up—honestly, that crew absolutely demolished that bathroom like it was second nature to them... everything was perfectly leveled, too. You won't find drywallers that skilled anywhere in the country, even at a massive firm like Home Depot or something... and that "specialist squad"? Man, they could’ve probably torn down a whole Manhattan brownstone in two days flat if they had to. 🙂Catch you guys next Saturday—drinks are on me.

Just give the club a call and ask—though I suspect it might be too late, as they'll probably just pass the funds along already...

Angela Newman33 said:I wasn't exactly keeping score,
but I'm pretty sure there were at least 8 guys out there, if I remember right.

And maybe 12 girls.

Is that specific enough for you?

Where even were you? 😁

Since I didn't recognize most people there, it’s kind of hard to tell who was actually part of the crowd... I guess anyone who showed up to the game after 😁

Look, since the lady clearly isn't part of the fan scene, let me break it down for you. There were about 100 of us crammed onto the light rail (that blue line running through downtown), but the hardcore crew went ahead first to scout the field and check for any cops, so these photos just show the casuals. All the actual hooligans and fighters are hovering nearby keeping an eye on us. Anyway, if you're coming down this Saturday, bring some gloves—I promised we'd have some heavy lifting and gear ready, plus word is we've got plenty of beer left over...

All the real hooligans and fighters are nearby holding down the perimeter for us. Anyway, if you're coming out to check things out on Saturday, bring some gloves—I promised we'd have plenty of snacks and gear, and word is we've still got a ton of beer left over...

and you're the one 🤣

you're toast 😁

Hey, let me know how many hands we need for Saturday. Our buddies from down South are gonna be hanging out nearby, so we might as well tackle the whole backyard together. It’ll go way smoother than doing it solo. I’m probably gonna have to skip it, but honestly, I can handle my own business...

Sandra Garcia7 said:Hey Gleć, how many hands do you need this Saturday? Some buddies from down south are visiting, so we figured we’d tackle the whole backyard together. Might be better than just doing random bits—though I’m probably gonna have to skip out since I've got my own fires to put out...

We're gonna need a crowd 🙂

The truck is coming today to haul away those piles of junk

Depends on how much they actually load up

$167 It's a bit of a stretch, honestly—I don't have the cash to cover two people

If half that mountain of debris is still sitting there, we won't be able to clear it all, so we'll just focus on finishing the bathroom this Saturday

Angela Newman33, how on earth did we see such a massive turnout from the fans? And everyone else...😕

I’m being dead serious here..🤷

Nathan Ramirez11 said:Angela Newman33, how did the fans turn out in such huge numbers? And what about the rest of us..😕

I'm being serious here..🤷

It’s pretty obvious—they show up because their boss is a loose cannon, so they feel they have to. 😁

As for the rest of us, there were maybe eight people there, maybe a few more if you count the outliers...

but yeah, we were all representing the forum. 🙂

Man, you're such a clown...😁...so what you're saying is the beer is on the job? I thought you were gonna pay your own way once your wife finally lets you off the leash! :P

Angela Newman33 said:we really need more 🙂

$167 is a round, I won't have any cash in two weeks

if half that mountain is still sitting there we won't be able to clear it all, so we'll be stuck working on the bathroom this Saturday

I’m asking my respected colleagues to please respond to this ASAP. Every single cent counts...
Look, those people who can't make it because they're out in Cleveland 😛 can at least help us out this way.

Let's buy them a drink...

Those who can't make it or live out in Cleveland 😛could at least help us out this way.

Let's just buy them a round instead..

😂...look, just give me a quick rundown of where you guys are at with this so I know which of my services might actually be useful... stop wasting time and get to the point.😁😁

Besides just needing more passion for the material itself, we’re also missing this:

toilet flush valves
So, about that shower stall—when are we actually getting it?
Bathroom cabinets with mirrors—honestly, such a game changer for small spaces. If you're looking to upgrade that cramped feeling in your powder room, a sleek mirrored cabinet is the way to go. It’s basically two birds with one stone: extra storage for all those half-used bottles and a much better view when you're actually trying to get ready in the morning. Just make sure to check the depth before you buy, otherwise, you'll be fighting with the door every single time.
Looking for shower and sink piping.

Man, we're still hunting for a good tile guy and a plumber—it’s a total struggle out here.
We’re laying down the laminate this Saturday—assuming the walls actually get finished and dried out by then—so it wouldn't be a bad idea to have someone over who actually knows what they're doing. 🙂
We’re also on the hunt for a mason who can handle some bathroom floor tiling, patch up a few holes, and seal up those gaps around the window frames.
