Cable Forum - Cleaning job and a half

Quote:

Almost a month after the last person was evacuated out of the Superdome the clean-up crews are finally going home.
For three weeks the workers have cleansed the football stadium both inside and out, armed with just manual tools, such as rakes and brushes, and the safety equipment necessary for toiling in such unhygienic conditions.
Leading the effort was Frank Obregon, operations manager for J & J Maintenance, a contractor based in Austin, Texas.
"For the first week we had 90 people working 24 hours a day for seven days straight," he explained.
"Then for the next week we had 90 people working in two shifts, and for the final week we've had 45 people working on one shift."

"It was covered in trash and the restrooms were absolutely filthy. The toilets had faeces three inches above the seat. The bowl was full and it was sitting atop that like ice cream, and even the sinks and the floor had been used," Mr Obregon said.
Mr Obregon's workers were equipped with all the safety gear they needed, including close fitting breathing apparatus, so they would not have to endure the terrible stench the waste had left behind.

Not a job I would have enjoyed :erm:
