So this weekend we headed down to the Biloxi, MS area to help with the disaster left in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. There is much to do as many homes were severely damaged or destroyed. Many homes are completely being gutted to be refitted. (If you want to wear Bio Hazard suits, there is work in which you get to wear them, preparing for later repairs)... I'll pass ;0) But I hear that work is a real winner with the ladies...
Biohazard man: "Hey I've been wearing a Biohazard suit the last couple of days"
Attractive young lady: "Really?"
Biohazard man: "Yep"
Attractive young lady: "I really think we should get to know each other better"
I believe these were the results of one of the brothers I was speaking with. Anyways, I was working on the roofing crew. We worked on the home above, after getting to work on the hole... we started stripping, and then flashing (who said roofing wasn't fun jk)...
Actually tommy and Phil left after they heard I was gonna be working on the stripping and flashing. But they returned and by the end of the weekend it was like we were all professionals. (OK, i did beat my hand in with a hammer, and cut myself while flashing... so that takes away from the professionalism).
We completed the house, fixed the hole. And the roof and got all the debris from the yard to the road. On this note, I have to say I was impressed with the sisters, they did most the debris removal. Moving large trunks, and libs they worked hard. Also I've never seen a girl in hoop ear ring run a chain saw and take care of business. Pretty impressive.
There is much work to complete down there. And its very enjoyable work because, you meet so many new friends and in no time its as if you have always known them. You may be dead tired from the work, but there is no greater satisfaction than working as a united brother hood.
Oh and there are other bonuses too... along the roads here and there are treasure hunts, just look through the debris and see what you can find. I got a nice pair of biker shorts and a corduroy jacket. ;0) Go join in the fun, much work to do but the rewards will be your own.
