Today we met James Bond from World Hope. He sent the three of us and two local gals, Mary & Jana (from the host church) to work at "Operation Threshold".They are a nonprofit community action agency who service thousands of clients in the surrounding areas with help for housing, WIC, family planning & energy assistance. This agency literally lost ALL their records in the flood. Nothing was salvageable.
The 5 of us spent 8 hours using sledge hammers, crowbars, our hands & our sweat, to tear out drywall, drop ceiling, insulation, office furniture and glued carpet.
Check out the before (above) & after (below) pictures.
This is our debris pile. We pitched everything we could out the windows.
Do you like our Monkey Suits? I (Chris) am the Chief Ape so I didn't have to wear one, but tomorrow we will be "mucking" out a house in Cedar Rapids and you can be sure even I will be wearing one. I saw a team come back tonight from that area and their suits were brown & their jeans underneath were wet up to their knees from mucking & then washing down walls & floors. Bet you can't wait to see our photos of tomorrows work.
