Day 3. Monday

Our first volunteer day.

Out the door at 8 am. 
Volunteer orientation at 8:30 with Saint Bernard Project.
Off to find our first house.
9:30 house orientation, "what is your favorite pizza topping"?
10:00 filling in cracks along the fireplace, painting, scraping bricks clean above the fireplace and cleaning used rollers and paint pushes. We got to try a variety of tasks today and we worked in a house with three supervisors. There was also two other groups on hand and working. One group from a methodus church in Cincinnati and a second group from non profit in San Francisco. We worked quietly and we all ate lunch together. Of course the topic was food, chili and poutine. Some of the volunteers have been coming to NOLA for ten years! 

The house style is called a shotgun because you can see the front door if you are in the far end of the house in the back room. This house was being from a two family back to the original
