Greetings from Arabi

Another St. Bernard's Project homeowner stopped by today @ our site to tell us how grateful he is and he shared his story. I am in this coffee shop while the video uploads to You Tube. I stopped by the project office and made sure I had their permission to do so and also asked the homeowner his permission.

I'm going to add the video to my blog when it's finished but be warned... it's 7 minutes. I'm gonna be in this coffee house a while.

Here's some pics of where I am this minute:

Genet Street House Rebuild

If you're wondering what's up with my prolific use of the green & purple color scheme... be advised that Mardi Gras began yesterday (tuesday yo') and lasts for a good long season. the official colors and green/purple/gold.

We're working on a house in Arabi right now on Genet street. Out of respect for the owner's privacy, I'm purposefully omitting the exact addy.

Here are pics from the house we're working on... Just a couple of teaser pics until I can get home and put the galleries online:

Here's the facade.



Here's my site supervisor. She's 18 years old and also from San Francisco



Here's the room I'm working on. I'm sanding and mudding the whole thing myself! I've been working on the ceiling for the last 1.5 days or so.



Here's me with a sanding sponge. It's my sander of choice when wrapped with an extra sanding paper or two (it's not in the picture... i do that when it's worn down). I know it's more work this way but it's easier to use in my opinion.
