If you are interested in seeing the houses we are working on, they are visible at the following links:

The first house (in the Gentilly area of New Orleans):
It's on the Northwest corner of Spain and Treasure, although it looks OK from the air, the water went to the ceiling and then settled to 6' and that's how high it was for 52 days. So 6' feet of their house was under water for more than 7 weeks.

The second house (in the East New Orleans area):
It's just west (left) of the empty lot on the south side of the street (not the one with the destroyed roof.)

Thanks for the updates! It's great to know what you're up to (in the absence of your beloved cellphones). You are all so missed, and we are all so proud of your efforts. Love to you from Minnesota.... Julie Brown
