I think I'm #12. Will be there for the parking lot build too. I can promise beer and commentary, and can likely help wrench.

Hey, I met you last years challenge. I am in Chicago Heights, and my brother in law is in Lockport. Let me know if you want a hand wrenching or want to come over and help wrench etc.
