Helping locals Clean and move back in.

Everything was soaked, Yesterday we were 6 at the hostle that volunteered to help clean some homes out in the flooded arear, we were 3 boys and 3 girls. we primary helped an old man, he picked us up guys up at the hostel and called a cap for the girls. On the way to his home he asked if any of us had a drivers licens and i had, so he asked me if i would like to take his Big Ford ranger and just follow him while he took his smaller Mercedes, it was kind of funny to drive in the other side of the road, i just had to remember that! when we arrived he payed the cap and showed us where to start. we cleaned out the mud from his basement. The girls gathered all the trash that was stuck in his fence while we guys moved a lot of crushed stones from the road back up into his backyard all moved with a wheelbarrow. later on we cleaned out his laundry machine and fridge and let them dry. when we were finished at his house we used the remaining crushed stones to fill some holes in the neighbours driveway. we also cleaned up a whole garage and hosed down all of the mud in the neighbours garden. It was kind of annoying he never looked where he hosed so he just got me all soaked from top to toe. But it was kind of funny that there was a lot of small fish swimming around in all the pods on the side of the road. After 3 hours he was happy and he called a cap to the girls and once the girls were gone he asked us guys to help him move back in the fridge and the laundry machine. Then he asked if we would like a beer and he insisted in paying us for the help. He wanted to send the girls home first because he did not think they did as much as us guys. So he paid us more and that would be fine because we stayed longer, but he paid us a lot more, which was unfair since we all helped and of course when we got back to the hostel one of the other guys couldn't keep his mouth shot! so yeah the girls were really pissed off. But we did not expect to get paid so it was good anyway.
