Interiors

Today, Dana, Peter and I signed up for the Interiors crew. The various work is divided into 5-6 different groups each day. Amanda and Jean did Electrical, James did Mold and Karen worked at the library today.

The home that Dana, Peter and I went to is in East Biloxi. It it probably at least a mile or so inland yet it was under water. Our job was to scrape up the tile from the cement floor in the brothel area. (the official story is that it was a boarding house for veterans behind a house, but we decided brothel sounded more interesting) Here's a word of advice for all you home remodeling DIY folks. DO NOT glue tile to a cement floor! And DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT put down a second layer of tile on top of that tile that you already glued to the cement floor. We spent all 8 hours continuously scraping and pounding the floor with hammers to break up and dislodge this stuff. And just because it came up once beware, it is still sticky and most likely has landed somewhere else in the room and adhered itself to the floor again. It was an very tedious day. The team leader did make a run to Wal Mart for a radio so we had Classic Rock blasting most of the day. You will all be sorry you missed Dana and I in our synchronized hammering to Bennie And The Jets! My arm is about to fall off so I will finish with some pictures and call it a night. Tomorrow we are on Mold duty.
