Tuesday, July 25 - more gutting and clean-up

The flood water had risen to less than a foot deep on the second floor of this house, so we didn't have to remove the entire walls and ceilings, just high enough to take out the water-damaged materials.

Hard work, breaking concrete with a pry bar!	Using power vacs to pick up dust and loose nails (EMI)	Taking a break for beignets, donated by a neighbor (EMI)
Contract workers collecting the debris we'd removed	Unfortunately, we had to wait until they left before we could continue our work	Our truck, equipment trailer, and van in front of uninhabited houses
