Mikey, are you going to post who's on which crew for the RMH cleaning so we can discuss in advance how we're getting there (who already plans to have a rental car, taxi splitting, etc)? I prefer to plan in advance if possible. If you don't want to post it because you think people will whine like they didn't get picked for their best bud's kickball team in kindergarten, I get it, but let me know before we leave maybe?

I can't really do that until I see who and what we got to work with.

Flight and hotel booked. I'll be in some time tuesday until Sunday. Won't be able to make the desert trip. I'll bring a brush for Chavez to help clean him up after. I already volunteered to work with Grant but I'm flexible. Put me to work where ever you see fit. Will need to share a ride, taxi or whatever.

I'm more than happy to announce that EncapStore.Com will be taking part at Mikey's Fest next month.
We'll be utilizing Damon's low moisture skills at a Ronald McDonald House (one of 3 to be cleaned) where running hoses just isn't feasible up to the 2nd-4th floors.
We have acres of hallways and guest rooms covered in LVP and tile and grout that Damon and his team of VLM Super Heros are going to make "just like new"! Plenty of rugs and upholstery too that could use a good "shampooin"
We also have 5000' of very dirty CGD and some Sisal rugs that are in desperate need of attention at our class venue/group hotel, that his team will help clean during our educational sessions on the following day.
I'll ask Damon to introduce his team, their equipment, juice selection as well as pads and brushes they'll be using.
