It really is hard to change the world in only a few days, but you have to start somewhere, and it's always more fun with a few friends. These are some of my new friends from Los Alamos New Mexico. We have just finished another day of Mucking. As you can see the pile continues to grow. We take abreak for the weekend and then a new crew comes in next week. It will be hard to say goodbye, but I know I am better for knowing my new friends. May they take their experince here and share it with the folks at home.
We got all of the debri removed from the house today. Nothing was salvagible. Throughout the day people would come by the pile to search for scrap metal. All of them had ineresting stories. On Monday LDR (Lutheran Disaster Response) will have someone look at the house to see what can be done to save it. After that we will probably begin to remove all the framwork inside the house.
Look at my previous post to see the difference in the rooms.

Aaron, We miss you lots but feel as though we are there with you due to this blog...thanks for doing this. This "mess" is much more real now; so overwhelming. We wonder if the man whose house you are working on is OK. We pray for life anew for him...well wishes. Joanna & Jose and family
P.S. Jose is working on the floor, but has questions at jpadilla@gglt.com
Aaron - Thanks for the insight into what's happening. Can't LDR determine if a house if worth repairing before moving everything out of it? What percent are repairable? And one more question - do you know how to interpret the symbols on the side of the house in the last picture you posted this day? By the way, now that you're on sabbatical, you're at the mercy of the rest of us for vacation plans. Maybe a couple days of quilting or folk dancing would be nice...
