Our Work

The yellow house, the pretty house, the purdy house...all names we called it...I guess purdy house stuck with me!
That first day the whole group worked here getting it ready for the sheet rock.
D.J., our friend from Virginia!
Lots of wood and other debris...throw it on the burn pile! Ellen became know as Woodchuck in our homage to the Geico commercial....when there was something to throw away I'd yell "Hey Woodchuck!" and she'd yell back "I'm chuckin' that wood!" Just about every yard in town has a burn pile.

Day Two....

One team stayed at the purdy house, and two teams crossed the Pearl river into Louisiana to work at Captain John's house.
Brittany and her team we determined to finish the walkway/ramp they had started back in April, when John and his sons finally moved into the house.
That houseboat in the background was lifted up by the 18 foot wave and carried into town. When the water subsided, it was sitting on a house! Maybe it was trying to mate!?!
Sidewalk ends...


Meanwhile....the other team headed out back....


To meet our foe......
