We looked at the delivery schedule for the team outing next week and I think we should aim for a mid-week pickup rather than Friday afternoon because the traffic near the warehouse is usually lighter on Wednesdays. The coordinator mentioned that the vendor can accommodate a 10 am window which gives us plenty of time to sort things before the evening event. I still need to confirm the final headcount but I expect around fifteen people will join. Let me know if that timing works on your end or if you need to adjust by an hour or two. I will send the sign-up sheet later today.

The rental company said they have enough chairs and tables for everyone but we might need extra serving utensils if we go with the larger menu option. I suggested we keep the menu simple to avoid any confusion with dietary restrictions. A few people mentioned they prefer vegetarian options so I will make sure we have enough variety. I can also bring a couple of coolers for drinks if that helps. Just let me know what else you think we might be forgetting.

The contractor said they will finish the patio work by Thursday afternoon as long as the weather stays clear. I told them we can move the furniture out of the way so they have access to the full space. They mentioned needing an extra outlet for the saw so I will make sure the extension cord reaches from the garage. I think we should also ask about the final cleanup details because I do not want to be stuck with a pile of debris over the weekend. I can meet them at the house around 8 am to let them in and then head to the office.

I looked into the reservation for the lake cabin and the earliest check-in is 3 pm on Friday. The owner said we can park two cars in the driveway and there is additional street parking on the cul-de-sac. I will bring the board games and maybe a few books in case the weather turns rainy. Let me know if you want to stop at the grocery store on the way up so we can grab supplies for the grill. I think we have enough bedding but I will check the linen closet to be sure.
