Default Think I'll Get Any Help To "GI" My Garage Floor?
From my club crowd? Sent this out to 20 or so veterans that hang out in the "clubroom".

Remember in reference to cleaning when you were an up and coming experienced basic training E1, E2, in your preferred service, will I get volunteers?......Hummmmm?

Of course you do, a lot of shitty jobs came your way during those learning years of how not to volunteer.
Well.........I need volunteers, actual workers, not observers.

I want to "GI" my garage floor which if done by myself, takes 2-3 days.
It will entail moving everything out, most are on wheels, then machine scrub stripping the floor with detergent.
Now I need swabbies (you Navy pukes are familiar) to mop the floor, not once, but twice after my scrubbing. I have two ring out buckets and mops that need to be manned and buckets refilled with clean water as we move along. Then coat with a shine product, probably two coats.

So, I would like to knock this out in one day. Of course, this will have to be a nice day WX-wise, preferably late Mar or early Apr.

I am taking names at this time for this volunteer job. You non-Mustang O-types may volunteer as well, I know you're not used to calluses, but all are welcome to join in.

A reminder, no gawkers but workers...................😁

Thanks,
Norm

Those folks who have recently taken advantage of the shop/mod project days at your clubroom/garage, using your lift, tools, assistance, expertise, consuming your snacks, coffee, beer, etc should truly be the ones to step up and help...but somehow I get the feeling that you may expect to hear from them on the 12th of Never.

Never seen anybody clean a garage floor before. You sure that's legal?

As of now, 7 have volunteered, and they are the regulars, I expect more, but won't need them.

Wow, now that's really harsh.

Thank you for your concern and enthusiasm for helping me "GI" the floor, it just warms my heart that there are so many thoughtful and nice people here. Bless you all..........

Of course I do, or I would have never quoted all of you.

My days of being a buffer tech are over. Good luck. Maybe you can hire some of the illegals that Xiden is importing....

Don't need them, have enough non-coms that remember their boot days.
