We were greeted by a rainbow at the New Orleans Airport, letting us know it would be a good trip.
If you look closely, many of the buildings still have broken or missing windows. While much of the city is recovering, there is still a tremendous amount of work to do.
Boarded up windows are a common sight in downtown New Orleans.
When you look down the street, you see a FEMA trailer in nearly every yard in this neighborhood. On the outside, many houses look good, but inside, everyone is dealing with catastrophic water damage. The Chess family had about 3-4 feet of water in their lower story, destroying all thier furniture, appliances, walls, carpet and other household items.
Much of the work we have to do on this trip is replace the walls and get the house ready for painting, and cabinet and appliance installation. In this picure, some wall-board has been nailed on with some space left to go. Our goal is to have all the walls replaced before we leave on Tuesday.
