Today most of us moved to a new project house. The owners had taken the opportunity to redesign some of their home to better suite the needs of their disabled teenage son. They installed wider doors and moved several walls since the interior had been completely stripped due to water damage. Their home had 4 feet of water inside. In the neighborhood were many FEMA trailers and all of the homes were significantly effected by high water damage and mold from hurricanes Katrina, Gustav, Rita and Ike. The home owners were living in a FEMA trailer park since a trailer would not fit on their lot, but came by to talk with us about their experiences with the storm. One home across the street had been completely demolished by the owner rather than try to repair it due to significant mold issues, even though they bought it just a few years before the most recent storm. Today we installed insulation in all the walls and started the installation in the ceiling and prepared for drywall installation.
John's team continued their work on their project house, installing wall paneling and crown molding.
Scott and Karen continued to work on projects in camp, and Kelsey is feeling much better today.
Their was a brief crisis when the hot water connection failed on one of the water heaters and some of us had to shower off with only cold water, but all were happy to wash off the sweat and fiberglass from a hard days work.

The back yard, the structures were finished just before Ike and survived the storm. They have a pool and sauna to help with their son's disabilities.
