Biloxi and Habitat for Humanity

Arrived New Orleans early this morning, and was on the Habitat site with my Methodist friends by noon, in Gulfport. In just one afternoon, we worked on two houses in north Gulport that were gutted by Katrina flooding and winds. Still almost 3 years later the area is in need of revitalization.

We worked putting shingles on a roof, moved 13,000 gallons of paint in 5 gallon containers, and stacked sheet rock for the second house. As I write this we're sitting at the Habitat Village in Biloxi, finishing dinner. We're getting ready to head out for an evening of sight seeing.

All for now. Gotta run!
