Friday, July 28 - a new project

This house and its contents sat, untouched, since the storm, waiting for someone to clear it out. The elderly owners were living in another state, and their insurance company could not assess the value of the property, or determine whether it should be rebuilt or razed, until it was stripped down to its bare framework. Adding to the original wind and flood damage was the fact that holes in the roof let in the rain for 11 months, so that the interior never dried out.

This sign protected the house from being torn down (EMI)	While others inspected the interior, Marguerite removed a fallen tree from the back yard	This was the only time this week we used a chainsaw
Living room, with water line and mold visible on walls (EMI)	Kitchen - note daylight coming through the roof (EMI)	Bedroom full of jumbled furniture (EMI)
Removing the refrigerator (EMI)	While the fridge blocked the door, Mar (outside) and others took debris out through a window (EMI)	Manuvering down the stairs (Miri at upper left) (EMI)
