Biblical Scale Disaster

[praxis178]

Spent the day in Rosalie, initially at the Sister's place, but also helping out all the houses down the street. Feel a bit sore and battered (have the mother of all bruises coming up on my thigh), but other wise great. Felt real good to give something back to a community I hardly know.

At one point there were so many people at one house ripping out the soggy MDF wall cladding that we were literally getting in each other's way (hence the bruise), wish I had had time to take some pics, but well was just too busy to do so. Arvo was spent doing the leisurely pressure washing of floors and walls, can be a lot fun, so I know why TP hogs the thing!

Taking tomorrow off and will be back at it Monday......

My wife and I spent two hours in traffic yesterday getting from our place through the city and the traffic jam in Bardon to get to a mates place in Figtree Pocket to help out. They'd gone under up to six inches below the second story. Spent the day ripping the walls down and cleaning everything else with bleach. Then went and worked on other peoples houses, including moving furniture that had been saved back into houses that hadn't been touched but would have been toast if the full expected height had been reached. Only took half an hour to get home at 11pm last night as the roads had been reopened. Had our own stuff that needed to be done today but we are heading back tomorrow to tackle the next job.

Spent today in Ipswich at the in-laws rental property. What a mess, with 2 storeys completely submerged to the eaves line. I'm told their house made the papers as the poster house for the flood in Ipswich.
Took this photo today which I thought summed it up well.

Good on you Thomas. We're having a another go tomorrow morning at QRs street, then off to Browndogs sisters for the dump and burn - carpets etc. Just PM-ing Winkle to see if he needs a hand as he's copped a heap at his place and give him a hand before we go back to work.

BD and his wife put on a great dinner tonite, and it was humbling as we were there to help, not to be spoilt.

TidalPete is drinking out of the dogs bowl so he has no right to comment, but we reckon he's c*&t anyway.

InCider.

How many microns thick should my cling wrap be to be an effective pubic hairlock?

Soooo... I'm in the back of a paddy wagon on the way down to Yeronga riverfront. No looting, just hitching with some coppers I know. Hehe. Come down if anyone's about.
