QLD Aza Assist -cleanup day

On behalf of AZA a huge thanks to everyone who came around yesterday to help with the cleanup!

Unfortunately we had quite a bit of difficulty getting into AZA's house with roads been closed and the sheer volume of traffic - but we got there in the end.

Thanks to everyone who spent hours just to get there. Also thanks to everyone who bought Generators and Gernis - the day would not have been possible without this equipment.

It was a very productive day with around 20 people showing up throughout the day.

The day started at about 8am - first cleaning the outdoor area with a gerni before emptying the house. Cara and I made a start on cleaning the bathroom and toilet. It was amazing seeing so much mud line every surface of bathroom. The kitchen was pulled about and cleaned before the floors and walls of the house were washed out with the gerni.

At this point the house was looking 100 times cleaner than when we started. So now it was time for the lunch break with Pex and Cara cooking up a storm - bbq sausgaes on bread and ham and chicken rolls.

Once everyone took a well deserved break it was straight back into it. The gyprock walls started to be pulled down and the kitchen cupboards/draws got a second clean.

Finally it was time to make a start on the garage. I would have to say this was the most awful part of the day. Everything was covered in oil and mud making it extremely hard to keep a hold on anything. The zed was moved out and up onto the trailer before being taken away for some much needed TLC. It was then time to finish emptying the garage before using 4L of degreaser and a gerni to clean the mud and oil out.

The day finished up at around 4:30 giving people time for a much deserved break before heading to Baz's Chardy Shak.

Again a huge thank-you for everyone's help. The amount of work which got done yesterday was amazing! Aza is now to a point where he has a few little things to go through before beginning to put his house back together. It will require new gyprock to be applied to the walls, a new kitchen installed, walls painted, carpet and tiles layed and a bit more last minute cleaning.

If anyone wishes to help AZA in rebuilding his house over the coming weeks - please feel free to contact AZA directly through PM. He will have a better idea of how to go forward and what help is needed than me.

Pictures to come over the next few days.

 

Well done folks... a great effort by Zedders for a dezerving Member!

Well done Guys & Gals(it looks pretty daunting before the scrub-up).

Keep your head up Aza, it can all be put back right.

Tomorrow is another day.

QLD spirit

Well its abit hard to know where to start and who to thank there were so many people that came to help yesterday, I walked around the house for the days before trying to work out where to start, I think i spent half the morning directing people to get to my place and its awesome that people spent hours getting to my place. I wish that could have been easier for everyone. Fortunetly I remained composed all day and tried to direct everyone as best possible, as I said I had no idea where we had to start. What Ive gained and seen from this last week is the spirit of people in this situation. We fed people were asked if we needed a hand offered advice and just everyone wanting to pitch in and lend a hand, its one thing to see it on tv but another to see it first hand. Massive thanks to all too many names to name aus300zx is such a great bunch.. thats all from me before I get teary eyed

 

We aren't finished yet Aaron. :zlove: Ash is hard taskmaster!

 

ANYONE GOT A VCR HANDY?


ztoy Mia didn't muck around today, already stripping and cleaning Aaron's car and dumping all the water. Must've been near 7 litres in the sump before the oil came through!

First pic was taken about 2pm on tuesday, I got home from work about 12 midday so within 2 hours I couldnt drive out of my area of Goodna.


Random pics before people came to help and during the clean up.

 

AZA - Keep ya chin up mate.
The ANZAC spirit is still alive and well. Very proud to be called an Aussie.
The Australian people dig in harder and have massive hearts, better than any one else in the world. eg. Aust floods Vs New Orleans.
Our people (Prime Minister all through to workers) were on site before and just waiting for the water to start dropping. USA seemed to take ages to get into gear.
The Aussie Spirit ROCKs !

 

Far out! You sure copped the flood bad Aza

Great to see everyone pitching in to help!

 

FFS! I worked my guts out most of the day and the only pics of me depict me sitting on my arse or looking at porn! U

 

Them's the perks of being foreman

 

What's the verdict on the coupe casualty?

who's Z is that?

 

Lol @ you!

 

:F:

 

Great job guys.

Must hurt to have to pull your house apart like that and throw away all your sodden belongings.

I see you are drying out the Ikea kitchen drawers. Did they survive the drowning ?

 

It's Pex's ZED with PEX cooking us up a storm!

 

They did for the most part Stef.... the front panel will need to be pulled off an replaced and the bottom part of the draw will need to be replaced - but the metal sides, railings and runners and handles are all ok to be reused
