Yesterday was Join Hands Day so I volunteered like normal. This year a bunch of us from WPA worked with others on a project ran by the ACGSP.

Heidelberg and Carnegie both donated houses to the group completely free of charge with the stipulation that they would be gutted and repaired so that low income families have the opportunity to rent the houses. These areas were flooded from the storms that hit us a couple years ago from Hurricane Ivan.

Anyways, it was actually fun. I got to tear apart the inside of a house. We got the living room and the kitchen completely gutted down to the studs. It was a bitch carrying 2 hot water tanks up from the basement because the stairway had to be about 2 feet wide.

The only thing that was slightly annoying about the day was when I stepped on a rusty nail. But, whatever…
