we dare be brave

It’s Thursday, and I am exhausted already. Work has been pretty tiring. I started out the week building in New Orleans East. The day began with me taking down the plywood from the front door. We have to cover the openings of the houses with plywood to prevent people from breaking in and stealing the copper wiring. Once I was done, I went into the house and pulled back all the plastic covering from the windows. Eventually, I moved on to cutting with an electric saw. My job was to cut all the base boards for the rest of the volunteers. After lunch, Brian told me I was going to be building the staircase and landing. I have been working on the landing since Tuesday afternoon and hope to be done by tomorrow.
