The House
August 22nd, 2006 by Karmen
The mayor of New Orleans declared a few months ago that any house not gutted by the year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina (the beginning of September) will be taken over by the city and demolished. People without resources, insurance, or manpower are wondering what they will do. Our project for the week was to gut a house for an 80 year old woman who did not know what she was going to do to keep her house. We tore out the walls, ceilings, and floors, and we removed the appliances, cabinets, and doors that had been left.
