This was our first day of demolition. We boarded our bus this morning at 7 a.m. What we saw was a bit overwhelming. Our house hadn't been touched since the hurricane. This is the case with a lot of the houses here. Not sure why. Our crew leader told us that some of the people just can't deal with this disaster. Once we moved out all the furniture it was time to tear the inside walls down. The walls are covered with black mold. Once the drywall is taken out then out comes the insulation. For over a year a variety of insects have lived in these walls. Some of us were freaked out by the cockroaches! Man, they are big down here! By 3pm what once was a front yard turned into a mountain of debris. Leaving now for the French Quarter. More later.
