Cleanup in New Orleans Part 3

Whew, today was exausting (yes I finally got on in the evening...). I am about to fall asleezZzzZzzZzzZz.
Anyways, we went and cut down a bunch of trees today, it was pretty fun, carrying all the wood around. And participating in that scottish tree throwing contest... Then we took down a shed... it had a refrigerator in it... it had a couple of jugs of milk in it... they burst... oooh my gosh that was a HORRIBLE smell!! 4 month old milk all over the ground...
Then we went and tore out the guts of another house, which we will finish up tomorrow.

Cleanup in New Orleans Part 2

Well, here we are, one day down, who knows how many more to go... :P
Yesterday we "De-mucked" a house. Basically everything except for the studs went out. All the carpet, drywall, insulation, everything out. It was fun wearing a respirator though, sort of. Really tiring work, but fun and fulfilling. Afterwards we went out to dinner at a restaruant in Downtown NO, so we got to see some of the sights and sounds and such. I got seafood gumbo, VERY Fishy, not horrible, but very fishy, I liked the jumbalya better, its sort of like pastat bake but with sea food. Then I slept like a rock all night...
On the drive in we got to see a lot fo the destruction first hand, it is a mess down here. half of buildings lying around, lots of litter, signs advertising house gutting and re-building, lots and lots of signs, like the political signs.
We drove on the causeway to get across lake ponchartrain, 25 miles of "bump, bump, bump, bump..." fun, and pretty in the daytime, but long and boring... ohwell, cya'll later.

Cleanup in New Orleans Part 1

Well, after a non-eventful 23 hour drive we finally arrived at Tammany Oaks Church of Christ in Mandeville LA. After a night of preperation... I am writting in the morning (of the 29th) before we head out to clean up the mess. Thus not much to report yet. Although Dinner and breakfast were good, dirty rice and beans for dinner and bisquits and sausage gravy for breakfast.
List of stuff I forgot: (So far, I might be adding to it later.)
Cell Phone
Work Boots

I'll post again after work today.
