"Earlier..." Karachi Ukaegbu 2/2

Part 2

Monday and Tuesday (and Wednesday):

I'm part of Brittany A.'s team "Number 1".
We did work in the city of Slidell - mainly drywalling and deconstruction - at two separate houses.

I'm not sure about the first; but at the second house, I met a woman named Rosalee and her dog, Jewel (who LOVES/stole our gloves when we were'nt looking T_T).
They are both very sweet and endearing.

Right away, we got to work. We tore apart the walls and floors of the dining room - leaving only insulation in the ceiling and six wooden bars that separated you from the earth below.
After demolition, we carried out pieces of wood and insulation, which was infested with roaches, rusty nails, and mouse/rat pellets out onto the front yard. On Wednesday, we separated the rubble and burned he wood in a huge bonfire using pieces of newspaper and lighter fluid.

It was a lot of work, but we accomplished a lot in a short amount of time as a team.
In the meantime, we all had fun, bonded, and got to know each other. ^_^
