As we pulled up to Julie's house, Linda was the first person out of the car. As she got near the entrance to the FEMA trailer, Julie came running out of the door and embraced Linda. The rest of us in the group let the two enjoy their reunion and then relieved a tour of the house.
John and Art immediately began to plan for the next day's construction as the rest of the group wandered through the house to see just how much work had already been completed and how much remained to be done. After a brief tour, we piled into our vehicles and headed off to Mandina's for an authentic New Orleans dinner. After a delicious meal, we dropped Julie off and returned to the BVC. Following a brief orientation, everyone wandered off on their own for a little while and then went to bed knowing that we had a very busy day ahead of us.
The next morning (Time: 8:00) after breakfast and packing the trailers, we set out for Julie's house. The temperature started in the low 80's but over the course of the day rose steadily. At Julie's, groups were formed. Some of us taped and "mudded" the drywall, some of the women installed insulation and one group spent four hours at a Home Depot just getting supplies for the upcoming week.
The following posts will be personal experiences told by the group members who lived them. A link to the Julie's Hope photo album can be found above the "About Me" link.
