Sweeney family photos at New Orleans House
Some photos from yesterday -In the front of the house with FEMA markings - the water was up to the roof at this house, many in the neighborhood were rescued from roofs. The water rose to the roof from the ground in about 7 minutes.
Jon on Matt's shoulders, Scott and Ingrid and lots of dust from sanding the seams.
The owner is 85 and widowed. He is quite sharp and spry and enjoyed all of the youths at the house. especially the young ladies. His house is ready for paint!

Weed Wackers of the North (East and West cost)!
These are pictures from Holt's Cemetery (the "poor man's" cemetery) from yesterday. We worked mostly to the right of the fence yesterday (pulling weeds and digging a trench that ran the whole fence!) BUT...this is what it looks like today! :)
10 of us (Abby, Me, Greg, Jenny, Karissa, Kate, Lindsay, Mack, Michelle & Mike) worked with a team of 17 from Washington state and cleared so much!! Jenny also showed God's love by reaching out to two cemetery workers and giving them water and sandwiches (they were digging a grave for someone who was buried today).

Monday - Day One
Today we had orientation. We got our assignments. We were broken into three groups. We got our tools together and headed out to our job site. Here are some pictures of the house we are working on. We finished hanging drywall...our goal is to finish taping this week.
to be continued....
Holt Cemetery
This is the cemetery for poor folks in New Orleans. It is the only cemetery in New Olreans where they bury people in the ground. It is in really bad shape. One group worked here today with the group from Houston Tx.
