Build day #3 in NOLA
After spending the previous build day swimming in sweat inside a tyvex suit, it was a relief to spend the day painting and mudding with the entire group. The folks I was working with focused on reskimming and priming the giant kitchen-dinning-living room.
After the work day, we were all invited to a Welcome Home ceremony for another home in the neighborhood. A few staff from the St. Bernard Project told us about the process Ms. Vera went through to be accepted into the program. She first applied in August 2009 and now 5 years later her home is complete and she can move back in. It was amazing to see all the americore volunteers at this event and many of them she thanked by name.
The photos below are pictures of Ms. Vera's rebuilt home.
