Hello from Violet, LA!
Today was a great day. We got to finish our house this morning! It is so rewarding to start with a house that was 0% and finish it completely. What I mean by 0% is that the house had nothing done to it since Katrina. Yesterday some of the girls on my team discovered pictures and mementos of the family that gave us some idea about them. Today Hillary was able to call them with the good news that their house was cleaned up. Unfortunately she got their voice mail. I can only imagine how relieved the family was knowing that their home was ready to be rebuilt. Later this morning we moved on to our 3rd house. This house is going to be a challenge. It is a huge house with two stories. Again it's a house that is 0%. Water marks are still evident on the walls. This home had 10' of water inside. Now it has 6" of mud inside. The mud is caked on the floors like bricks. Our team had to use a pitch fork to loosen it. We were all amazed at the end of the day at how much progress we had made. Already we have 2 of the biggest rooms cleared and tomorrow we'll start the other rooms.
On the bright side it's warm and sunny here!
