Gutting a house and making dinner

It's 7am and I'm trying to get this out before going out to another house to gut it.
That's what I did yesterday with a crew of about 7. First thing I got a pry bar and started hitting some plaster and huge chunks fell to the floor-ignoring all of my physical limitations-it was just too fun and satisfying.

I was picked up from the job site around 2pm to go back to base camp to help on the dinner crew. Melanie-from NYC, puerto rican taught us how to make a real carribean meal. Challenging to get it all done in time. For instance 3 of us were trying to peal yucas with dull knives and one cheap potato peeler that broke immediately-they really need better kitchen tools here. I'm thinking of starting a gift registry on
Target so that we can offer a way for people to donate in smaller funds so that we can directly get the things we need and anyone with $10 can help out. Potato peelers for instance:)
We took Andrew out last night as he is leaving us to go back to Seattle. He's been such a sweatheart and hard worker. We all adore him and are sad to see him go.
We walked to Magazine street-I made the mistake of wearing heels on a long walk. There were huge cockroaches running across the sidewalk. So I couldn't take them off.
My first view of the Garden district. Beautiful houses-untouched by Katrina?? Some say Katrina only liked white people.
Off to work. Hope I get to tear down some walls today.
